Hello,

I'm using the timeout (GNU coreutils) 8.23 command on RedHat 6.5 Enterprise 
server, and it is performing the timeout as planned.

In my scenario, the timeout command allows me to tail a log on my Putty screen 
for 2 minutes.  Here is the command.

./startup.sh ; timeout 120 tail -f ${LOG_HOME}/tomcat/instance1/catalina.out


Issue - while the log is being tailed on my Putty screen I cannot use my 
control keys.  For example, control+c does not cancel the log tail.

Note - on my other RedHat 6.5 Enterprise  servers this is not an issue but I'm 
using timeout (GNU coreutils) 8.4 instead of version 23.

Any suggestions on how to get the control+c to work would be greatly 
appreciated.


Regards,
