Timeout a procedure within SKILL

Hi,

Within a SKILL procedureA, I am calling another SKILL procedureB. In a normal scenario, procedureB should finish within 20-30 seconds. If I want to terminate the procedure execution after X minutes, how would I do that? IpcBeginProcess starts a new process and I don't want that. Is there a timeout type feature for a skill procedure call? Thank you.

procedure( myProcedureA()

myProcedureB() ; <<<< want to terminate the procedure if not done within some time limit.

) ; end myProcedureA

procedure( myProcedureB()

;; do bunch of stuff

;; stuff should be done within 20-30 seconds

;; Terminate the procedure if not done within some time limit.

) ; end myProcedureB

No, SKILL is single threaded, so this can't be done (currently). You'd have to get the code to monitor its own time and abort itself if it was taking too long.
