    @rhtyd I don't think it acceptable to allow a process without any time 
boundary.  The concern is that a series of stalled commands could consume the 
thread pool and starve out other clients.   However, as a convenience to users 
of the class, it also makes senses that we would require the specification of a 
timeout on each call.  
    
    A solution to this issue would be as follows:
    
    1. Define a ``private final static Duration DEFAULT_COMMAND_TIMEOUT``
    1. Provide an ``executeCommands`` override implementation:
    ```
    public static ProcessResult executeCommands(final List<String> commands) {
        return executeCommands(commands, DEFAULT_COMMAND_TIMEOUT);
    }
    ```
    1. Modify the preconditions of this method to require a timeout greater 
than zero and simplify it to remove handling of that case.
    
    This approach not only ensures that all commands are (softly) time-bounded, 
but it also avoid the [flag argument 
anti-pattern](http://martinfowler.com/bliki/FlagArgument.html).
