IN node-red i want to create a flow which executes a command and if that command takes more than 15 minutes to give result it should kill itself or terminate itself .

Do you mean using and Exec node?
If so, the Exec node has a Timeout field you can use to kill the process.

3

iam using that but it does not work properly, actually iam running a command to trigger spiderfoot tool scan over an ip-address or domain name .
when i do it in terminal only way to abort it is uding ctrl+c , but when i use timeout function the scan does'not get aborted and remains in the background.

What version of node-red and nodejs are you using (use node -v to get the nodejs version)?
Please show us how you have configured the Exec node. You can paste a screenshot here.

Also look in the node-red log to see if anything is logged when it should timeout.

5

nodejs version is 20 and node-red v3.1.3

In order to make code readable and usable it is necessary to surround your code with three backticks (also known as a left quote or backquote ```)

```
