I've added a --kill-delay option in the attached,
so you should get the operation you require like:

  timeout -k1 1h command

That gives a 1 second grace period after a TERM signal is sent
(either from the timer or from explicitly terminating the timeout command)
before the command is killed.

cheers,
Pádraig.
