Is there a way of stopping a function after a delay? Nodejs

Question

Is it possible to abort a function after a delay? Something like:

function f() {
    //Do some process here
}

after(10000).stop(f)

Any idea about how to do that? Thank you.

Try cluster module like this

const cluster = require('cluster');

if (cluster.isMaster) {
    const fn = cluster.fork();
    setTimeout(_=>fn.process.kill(), 300);
} else {
    for(;;) {
       process.stdout.write('#');
    }
}
