currently not a feature of SikuliX.

I will check the next days for a solution.

--- possible ways
- use system features in a command script to kill the java run after some time
- in the script run use a subprocess, that waits and finally kills the main process

I will put this on the list as a feature for the SikuliX script runner (2.0.6)

this is a quick&dirty solution, that works inside a script:

from threading import Thread
from threading import Event

def toRun(waitTime, stop):
    maxTime = 0
    while maxTime < waitTime:
        wait(1)
        maxTime += 1
        if stop.isSet():
            print "wait stopped %d" % maxTime
            return

    print "after wait: %d" % maxTime
    type("C", Key.CMD) # stops the running script

stop = Event()
# 10 means stop before hover()
# 20 means normal termination
t1 = Thread(target = toRun, args = (10, stop))
t1.start()

# some things to be done (your script code here)
wait(15)
print "before hover"
hover()

stop.set() # needed to end the toRun thread

Sorry, was for macOS.

on Windows it is:

type("C", Key.ALT) # stops the running script

Can you help with this problem?
