time

The time directive defines the maximum runtime for each task. For example:

process hello {
    time 1.h

    script:
    """
    your_command --here
    """
}

The following suffixes can be used to specify duration values:

• ms: milliseconds
• s: seconds
• m: minutes
• h: hours
• d: days

See Duration for more information.
