Send quit keystroke (Q + Enter) to program after running for a certain period of time
0
Some terminal programs have a quit keystroke to safely stop their execution, for example: Q + Enter From this question I learned that the timeout command allows to send signals to a program after a specified amount of time but, as far as I know, none of those signals is equivalent to the quit keystroke that I am referring to. The list of signals can be shown with the command kill -l : 1) SIGHUP 2) SIGINT 3) SIGQUIT 4) SIGILL 5) SIGTRAP 6) SIGABRT 7) SIGBUS 8) SIGFPE 9) SIGKILL 10) SIGUSR1 11) SIGSEGV 12) SIGUSR2 13) SIGPIPE 14) SIGALRM 15) SIGTERM 16) SIGSTKFLT 17) SIGCHLD 18) SIGCONT 19) SIGSTOP 20) SIGTSTP 21) SIGTTIN 22) SIGTTOU 23) SIGURG 24) SIGXCPU 25) SIGXFSZ 26) SIGVTALRM 27) SIGPROF 28) SIGWINCH
