There are ways. The one that I use involves using the UNIX alarm signal. It
works fine, but is a bit more sophisticated that I felt like writing about
today.
My point was to provide a warning about a behavior that is not obvious and
could be harmful.

Huh? There's no way to use a timeout on a request in FoxAPI?
On second thought, I believe at least one person knows how to do it.
Our
Aspen
CIM-IO collector does not hang when FoxAPI is not there, but rather
complains loudly in its
log file.
