Right, but so in this case I'd have to

- sysctl pid
- kill pid

This doesn't save me much work versus

- ps
- calculate timeout manually
- kill pids

So I'm lazy and want but one command to do that. :-)

Besides,  SIGXCPU only counts CPU time -- I want "real" time.
Furthermore, I may want to send a different signal to a pid that's been
running for longer than <timeout>.
