      Please add the ability to specify a timeout period (minutes, hours) for a job.
      After this period expires the job is terminated with a failure status.
      This feature will ensure that stalled/hung processes do not linger until manual
      intervention. This feature is very important since notification is normally
      sent on failures, and an absense of a notification will be incorrectly
      interpreted as a success.
