Title:
  NetworkManager killing dispatched scripts too quickly

Status in “network-manager” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  /usr/lib/NetworkManager/nm-dispatcher.action has an undocumented and
  unconfigurable "feature" of killing scripts after 3 seconds.  For a
  number of settings this is too short. It is unclear why this killing
  really has to happen but for sure it would be good to give a bit more
  time. Find below a patch which gives a bit more lee-way.

  See similar issue in fedora where it was recently "fixed":
  https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=909577.
