Run a bash linux command for a specified time
Is there a way in linux please to execute a command just a certain duration of time like 10 minutes ?
I wanna make a capture with: airodump-ng -w $CAPT_DEST $mon
But i just want it to last 10 minutes and then the command stops automatically.

The command you are looking for is timeout:
timeout 600 airodump-ng -w "$CAPT_DEST" "$mon"
See man timeout for more information.
