Minor, grammar-related question:+Upon timeout send the TERM signal to COMMAND, if no other SIGNAL specified.\n\_______________^ s/timeout/&,/ ? I stumbled upon this sentence a couple of times - shouldn't there be a comma? The word 'timeout' could be a regular noun, a verb, or in this special case the name of the tool, so I had to read the first half several times. But maybe it's only me as a non-native English speaker - commas are much cheaper over here. ;-)
When writing --help we tend to be space limited, so I tend to write with punctuation mainly as disambiguation. But indeed it is better to add the comma there, and we have space. cheers, Pádraig
