This option overrides the default shell command that the

output of the command will be ignored, only the exit code

This option allows you to override the default shell

The <replaceable>TIME</replaceable> is specified as an RFC
345
3339 duration; for example
346
<quote><literal>P1Y2M3DT4H5M6S</literal></quote> meaning
347
one year, two months, three days, four hours, five
348
minutes, and six seconds. Some values can be omitted, see
349
RFC 3339 Appendix A for details.
333
The <replaceable>TIME</replaceable> is specified as a
334
space-separated number of values, each of which is a
335
number and a one-character suffix. The suffix must be one
336
of <quote>d</quote>, <quote>s</quote>, <quote>m</quote>,
337
<quote>h</quote>, and <quote>w</quote> for days, seconds,
338
minutes, hours, and weeks, respectively. The values are
339
added together to give the total time value, so all of
340
<quote><literal>330s</literal></quote>,
341
<quote><literal>110s 110s 110s</literal></quote>, and
342
