Hello,
Environment: AIX 7.2 TL3 SP1 (on IBM Power Systems)
Origin of the coreutils RPM used @release 8.30 is perzl.org
Installed using a yum server.
******* /root> /usr/bin/time timeout 2.3 sleep 5
timeout: warning: timer_create: Invalid argument
real 3.01
user 0.00
sys 0.00
******** /root>
Could be a missing dependence ?
Regards,
Rudy

'man 3p timer_create' says:
EINVAL The specified clock ID is not defined.
No idea. For an analysis, we need more information:
timeout version, OS/kernel version, and finally of course a reproducer, i.e.,
the exact command line you were using.
timeout works well here:
$ /usr/bin/time -f '%e' timeout 2.3 sleep 4.5
Command exited with non-zero status 124
2.30
Have a nice day,
Berny
