Yes, it is there. Look:
if test "$RUN_PARALLEL" = "yes" ; then
#
# Stop/Start services in parallel with make behaviour of startpar
#
startopt="-p4 -t 30 -T 3 $(splashmake)"
eval $(startpar $startopt -M stop -P $PREVLEVEL -R $RUNLEVEL)
failed="${failed:+$failed }$failed_service"
skipped="${skipped:+$skipped }$skipped_service"
And "startpar" is a command. Man says:
NAME
startpar - start runlevel scripts in parallel
SYNOPSIS
startpar [-p par] [-t timeout] [-T global_timeout] [-a arg] prg1 prg2 ...
startpar [-p par] [-t timeout] [-T global_timeout] -M [ boot|start|stop]
As the options are in «startopt="-p4 -t 30 -T 3 $(splashmake)"», it has a
timeout of 30 seconds, and global timeout of 3... what? Minutes, seconds?
You'd better look at the man page, it is not so simple.
