Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/netblue30/firejail/issues/592

I propose to kill the jailed process after the specified (by the command line) number of seconds (or better milliseconds) passes.

This is useful, as otherwise a hacked may make a command running forever.

Is the timeout command on the command line not sufficient?

Use timeout, it will work.
