BASH kill wget if no response

I have this code

...
SERVERCONNECTION=$(wget --quiet -O - http://xx:[email protected]:10001/server | grep connections | awk '{print $36}')

Sometimes the url get inresponsive, then I want to kill wget process and set SERVERCONNECTIION variable to 0.

Another useless use of grep.

Use awk '/connections/ {print $36}' instead, so that the whole line reads 

wget --timeout=5 --quiet -O - http://xx:[email protected]:10001/server | awk '/connections/ {print $36}'

Set a timeout for the wget process with --timeout=seconds, i.e.

SERVERCONNECTION=$(wget --timeout=5 --quiet -O - http://xx:[email protected]:10001/server | grep connections | awk '{print $36}')
