##Usage
Hangman - Monitor for Hung Command Line Processes
https://github.com/comsechq/hangman
Hangman monitors a command line process and kills it if no data is witten
to the standard output within a timeout.
Usage:
hangman --file [executable] --timeout [seconds] --log [file]
Options:
--file Executeable process to run
--timeout Timeout in seconds. If no data is recieved on either the
standard output or standard error within this period, then
the process is forcably terminated
--log Log process terminations to given file
Any additional command line parameters are passed through to the executable
process.
##Example
hangman.exe --file c:\path\to\myconsoleapp.exe --timeout 90 -param1 value1 -param2 value2
The command above will start hangman.exe. This hangman will in turn spawn myconsoleapp.exe as a new process and redirects its output as well its input.
If the myconsoleapp.exe does not output anything for 90 second or more a CTRL+C will be sent to the input of myconsoleapp.exe.
If myconsoleapp.exe listens for CTRL+C it can then execute some code to end whatever it's doing gracefully.
