Kill running nfdump process from front end

[mbolli]

As nfdump processes might take a long time to complete (depending on the parameters and the system), it would make sense to somehow track the running processes and make them killable from the front end.

What about running it with a timeout? exec(timeout 10 nfdump).. that will give a maximum time of 10 seconds ?

That's probably too low, as statistics calculations even of just 1 week of data can take a few minutes depending on your system and number of sources.
