  no it is different:
  ------------------

  softlimit takes:

-t n: Limit the CPU time to n seconds. This limit is not enforced except 
that the process receives a SIGXCPU signal after n seconds.


  My timeout signal with a *specified* signal within N seconds of clock, 
nothing about CPU time or other resources.
