Establishes the amount of time SYSMAN waits for a node to
    respond. Once the time limit expires, SYSMAN proceeds to execute
    the command on the next node in the environment.

    Format

      SET TIMEOUT  time

1  –  Parameter

 time

    Specifies a delta time value, which has the following format:

    hh:mm:ss[.cc.]

    This is the amount of time that SYSMAN waits for a node to
    respond. SYSMAN waits indefinitely-by default it has no timeout
    period. Refer to the OpenVMS User's Manual for a description of
    delta time values.

2  –  Example

  SYSMAN> SET TIMEOUT 00:00:30
  %SYSMAN-I-TIMEVAL, timeout value is 00:00:30
  SYSMAN> CONFIGURATION SHOW TIME
  System time on node NODE21: 19-JUN-2002  14:22:33
  %SYSMAN-I-NODERR, error returned from node NODE22
  %SMI-E-TIMEOUT, remote operation has timed out
  System time on node NODE23: 19-JUN-2002  14:23:15

      This command establishes a timeout period of 30 seconds.
      Because NODE22 did not respond within 30 seconds, SYSMAN
      displays an error message and proceeds to execute the command
      on the next node in the environment.
