[Kimchi-devel] [PATCH V1] add a synchronous function with timeout to execute command

From: ShaoHe Feng <shaohef(a)linux.vnet.ibm.com&gt; 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.
