execution timeout
require 'timeout' status = Timeout::timeout(5) { # Something that should be interrupted if it takes too much time... }
A way of performing a potentially long-running operation in a thread, and terminating it’s execution if it hasn’t finished by a fixed amount of time.
Previous versions of timeout didn’t provide use a module for namespace. This version provides both Timeout.timeout, and a backwards-compatible timeout.

Executes the method’s block. If the block execution terminates before sec seconds has passed, it returns the result value of the block. If not, it terminates the execution and raises exception (which defaults to Timeout::Error).
Note that this is both a method of module Timeout, so you can ‘include Timeout’ into your classes so they have a timeout method, as well as a module method, so you can call it directly as Timeout.timeout().
