Is there any way to limit pdflatex execution time ?
It would be nice if the value could be added to the texmf file.

Using arara: Refer Page 62 Chapter 7 there is an --timeout n
flag that terminates the execution of any engine. I think there is no in built flag for pdftex
engines I suppose
"This flag sets an execution timeout for every task. If the timeout is reached before the task ends, arara will kill it and interrupt the process- ing. The n value is expressed in milliseconds". From arara User Manual
arara
has been integrated with IDE's (Chapter 4 of User Manual) and it's author is Paulo Cereda et al
Ex command line: arara file.tex --log --verbose --timeout 10
for 10 milli second run
arara
had this option! :)
Damn those authors.
