idea, that would solve all my problems, and at the same time it
changes the interface for other users very little. A SIGNALS section
in the man page explainig this might also be a good idea.
Can you tell me what version of coreutils this change will end up in?
Thanks,

not exit.
An other alternative is to add a new --term-signal option that could
be used to tell what signal the user want forwarded if the timeout
command gets a TERM. Then I could use the command like this:
timeout --signal=KILL --term-signal=KILL 1h ./my_program

as that makes it easy to send a SIGKILL, is
there a chance that you could change timeout in coreutils to do it
like that?
