Description

#### Version information:
Affected version: 0.4.23

#### Description:
On a server and with the flag `--allow-offline` the publishing of names can hang in rare instances indefinitely. I discovered that it's hanging one day later. My script does 3 ipfs names publishes directly one after another, and the first one was still running 26 hours after start.

I fixed this issue by setting a timeout of 3 minutes.

I think there should be a timeout - like 10 minutes or so by default for this command, to avoid that this happens.
