This is sample codes for self countdown timer.

[sample code:]
import thread

#-----count down and type hotkey
def Type_Hotkey(name,*args):
    cnt = args[0]
    while cnt > 0:
        cnt = cnt - 1
        sleep(1)
    type(Key.END,Key.CTRL) #type hotkey

#-----hotkey handler
def Exit_Main(event):
    type(Key.CTRL) #dummy type to cancel CTRL
    sys.exit()

#-----Main script
Env.addHotkey(Key.END, KeyModifier.CTRL, Exit_Main)
duration = 5
thread.start_new_thread(Type_Hotkey,("Type_Hotkey",duration))
while True:
    sleep(1)

@masuo: interesting solution ;-)
... but in SikuliX scripts one should never use sys.exit() but exit() to assure the SikuliX internal cleanup.

... hence:
#-----hotkey handler
def Exit_Main(event):
    type(Key.CTRL) #dummy type to cancel CTRL
    exit()
