Exec alert handlers automatically terminate their associated commands after the default duration. You can change this duration or disable the timeout if needed.
The command-timeout property for an exec alert handler has a default
value of 1 hour, after which the handler terminates any commands or scripts it
initiated and logs an error. This timeout helps mitigate the effects of a command or
script running longer than expected.
Depending on your configuration for a given exec alert handler, you might want to adjust this value up or down. You can disable the timeout by setting the property's value to 0 s.

Set the value for the
command-timeoutproperty of an exec alert handler.- Create an exec alert handler with the desired timeout value. For
example:
$ bin/dsconfig create-alert-handler \ --handler-name TestAlertHandler \ --type exec \ --set enabled:true \ --set command:testScript.sh \ --set "command-timeout:2 h" - Modify the
command-timeoutproperty of an existing exec alert handler. For example:$ bin/dsconfig set-alert-handler-prop \ --handler-name TestAlertHandler \ --set "command-timeout:15 m" - Disable the
command-timeoutproperty of an existing or new exec alert handler by setting the value to 0. This allows any initiated commands or scripts to run indefinitely. For example:$ bin/dsconfig set-alert-handler-prop \ --handler-name TestAlertHandler \ --set "command-timeout:0 s"
