Run threshold: stop the job if runs longer than x minutes

[kamandir]

Sometimes the scripts hang and dagu job continues to wait for it infinitely.
Is there a way to set a runtime threshold? Say, if a job is not finished after x minutes, dagu stops/cancels it. This will give a chance to start a new instance according to the job schedule.
thanks!

Dagu doesn't have max running time option right now (any contribution will be welcomed).
One way to check running time and stop when needed is using bash script. Here's the rough idea.

steps:
  # other steps
  - name: checker
    command: bash
    script: |
     start=`date +%s`
     DAG=/path/to/DAG.yaml
     while :
     do
       isRunning=`dagu status $DAG`
       now=`date +%s`
       if the DAG is finished then exit 0
       if the DAG is running too long then
         dagu stop $DAG
       end
       sleep 1
     done
