I have five exec() function in my script.I want if any function will not give any response in given time function will kill and then next function starts its execution.

 <?php

   exec("timeout 5 /usr/local/bin/wrun 'uptime;ps -elf|grep httpd|wc -l;free -m;mpstat'",$uptime);  
   exec("timeout 5 /usr/local/bin/trun 'uptime;ps -elf|grep httpd|wc -l;free -m;mpstat'",$uptime);  
   exec("timeout 5 /usr/local/bin/drun 'uptime;ps -elf|grep httpd|wc -l;free -m;mpstat'",$uptime);

Create a bash script caller.sh and execute it via exec. The command will be automatically killed after 5 seconds.

caller.sh

#!/bin/sh
/usr/local/bin/wrun 'uptime;ps -elf|grep httpd|wc -l;free -m;mpstat' &
sleep 5
kill $! 2>/dev/null && echo "Killed command on time out"

PHP 

exec("caller.sh",$uptime);
