<para>Some scripts take <emphasis>long</emphasis> time before they complete their execution, this can happen due to many reasons
maybe some bug in script, delay in the network or nature of the script itself(example:http-slowloris).
If you want to keep some limit on time for which script should run then you need to specify
<option>--script-timeout</option> with the maximum amount of time
for which script should be run. Note that all scripts will have same timeout. Once script gets timed out
no output for that script will be shown. Whether a script has timed out or not, can be seen in debug output.
