From the manual page for launch.plist,
TimeOut <integer> The recommended idle time out (in seconds) to pass to the job. If no value is specified, a default time out will be supplied by launchd
ExitTimeOut <integer>
The amount of time launchd waits before sending a SIGKILL signal. The default value is 20 seconds. The value zero is interpreted as infinity.
The second one, ExitTimeOut, makes sense to me. It's the amount of time that the process has to complete before launchd kills it. But what is TimeOut? Can't find any general definition of "idle time out" anywhere.
Thank you,
Jerry Krinock
