I'm using chrome headless to take screenshots. But when adding a timeout, the process does not exit, it stays alive... Is there a way to kill the process on errors (like timeouts)?
Command without timeout and its output (this one is working):
>>> chrome --headless --screenshot --no-sandbox https://stackoverflow.com

Command with timeout (at 1ms for testing) and its output (pending):

I prefered to use Linux command timeout. Here is the sample for you case, to wait 60 seconds then terminate the chrome instance.
>>> timeout 60 chrome --headless --screenshot --no-sandbox https://stackoverflow.com
