[PATCH v13 20/20] index-helper: indexhelper.exitafter config

From
David Turner <novalis@novalis.org>
Date
Jun 26, 2016, 17:54 UTC
Message-ID
<1466963679-9947-1-git-send-email-novalis@novalis.org>
From: David Turner <dturner@twopensource.com>

Add a configuration variable, indexhelper.exitafter, which provides a default time to keep the index-helper alive. This is useful with indexhelper.autorun; some users will want to keep the automatically-run index-helper alive across their lunch break and will thus set indexhelper.exitafter to a high value.
