Oh, one other thing you might consider, it something like "timeout" from
GNU coreutils, which puts a hard cap on the length of time a process can
run.

It's totally unaware of the state of the process, though, so if you
really do have a clone which takes an hour, it might very well kill it
at 99% complete. It has no mechanism for "gee, this process looks like
it hasn't done anything for 5 minutes".

I don't know offhand of a general tool for that.
