The pipeline is dead in the water while the CMS command is executing;
no way it can force a timeout.  If you have two virtual machines to
play with, the situation is different.  Then you can send the command
and wait for a response with STARMSG and send HX when it times out.
Whether CMS reacts to the HX is another matter.
