Sorry,
I will explain. I am using for a task 'find /' expecting this to last
longer, usually much longer than 5 sec.
If you run the code I sent in python 2.6, it will stop after 5 sec and
print messages.
If you run the same code in python3 (and if your task last more than 5
sec as expected, otherwise replace "cmd = 'find /'" with something
suitable), python3 alarm doesn't work and the job is not stopped after
5 sec, taking minutes to finish.
I hope it may help you to help me.
Thanks,
Alan
