[Lava-users] Using Connection timeout for expected silence time on shell

Hi Lava Users,

I'm working on a LAVA test that is not very chatty (little to no output during execution). I'm looking for a way to set expected silence time in that test and break its execution in case it's exceeded.

I thought Connection timeout [1] would be my solution but by setting:

timeouts:   connections:     lava-test-shell:       seconds: 5

I was unable to get any difference in the job execution. I intentionally made timeout ridiculously small to see how it would affect the job.

Please let me know if using Connection timeout for this purpose is a dead end. I'm also open for any solution suggestions (wrapping test with a script that would emit checkpoints on serial?)
