[ale] Need a bit of help with bash.

[Chuck Payne]

Guys,

I have a script that does a wget, but if a server is not responing,
the the script deads. What is the best way to say if host x doesn't
return a value after 10 sec to stop.  I seen several example of
timeout function, but it looks I need to write a pid is that true?
