John was right, you can't set a timeout for sfs commands. Having another ID hx your ID after a too-long wait is about it. That said, you're better off trying to find out why your workunit is hanging and solve the *real* problem. Maybe the server is hung up on a backup.
Depending on what's going on, you may have grounds for a PMR. Alan Altmark IBM Lab Services Merry Christmas, everyone!
