Hi all,

I was closing old Bugzilla bugs when I bumped into “Bug 10460 - way to stop a run away report”.

It got me thinking about maximum execution time for background jobs. What do people think about background jobs workers killing their child processes if they exceed a maximum execution time?

I don’t have a particular use case for it at the moment, so not a priority by any means, but thoughts on the concept?
