Description
There is a situation, when the master sends a script task to all minions below him, if a server has very few idle resources, the script may remain stuck and cannot be executed. As more and more tasks are issued, this leads to There are more and more python processes on the server, and eventually server resources are slowly exhausted. So when the master sends a command to minon (using saltclient), can you set the task execution timeout time?
Of course, I found two timeout settings when using saltclient, but they are not what I want. Are there other hidden configurations? I hope to get community support.
