TIMEOUT Command

from the startup message.
Examples
TIMEOUT Command
The TIMEOUT command enables you to change the amount of time VHSCI waits for a
response from a VHS process before canceling the request. There might be a delay in
VHS server response, a normal situation in requester-server communication. The
TIMEOUT value ensures that if VHS receives hundreds of requests at the same time,
including a request from VHSCI, the request will not time out before getting an answer.
/ OUT file-spec /
causes any VHSCI output generated for this command to be directed to the
specified file.
time
designates the amount of time VHSCI waits for a response from a VHS process. If
time is omitted, VHSCI waits 90 seconds. The maximum amount of time that can
be specified is 5965:13:56.47. The smallest amount of time that can be specified is
1.00 second.
Consideration
TIMEOUT functions in the same manner as pressing the Break key: it cancels any
outstanding operation. Use this command with caution.
