[Kimchi-devel] [PATCH V2] add a synchronous function with timeout to execute command
From: ShaoHe Feng <shaohef(a)linux.vnet.ibm.com>
We need a common function to execute shell command.
We also need timeout when execute shell command.
A threading.Timer is used to send signal.SIGKILL to kill the command
when timeout.
