https://answers.launchpad.net/sikuli/+question/682123

I am running sikulix to automate the photo-labeling cross the sample surface on a microscope.  The surface is split into many tiles which the sikulix will manipulate to loop through. The whole process is time-consuming and man-unattended. 

I have script_a and script_b.  script_b  does the trivial jobs at every tile and loop through the tiles.
script_a will call script_b and send me a warning message when script_b crashes:
i.e.
exitValue = runScript(script_b)
if exitValue == 1:
    "send me the warning message"
Everytime, I directly run script_a.
However,
there is an occasion that script_b does NOT crash but freeze for a long time without being noticed. 
I don't know which step in script_b will be strangled. 
What I propose to do is firstly to log a time when script_b initiates in a txt file, then a code can keep monitoring the system time. If the time passed by is longer than a certain time (saying 30 min), a warning message will be triggered and sent to me. 
I don't know how to make it work properly as it sounds like I need two sikulix scripts run simultaneouly. 
There could be a better solution than my proposal.
I use window 7, sikulix IDE 1.1.4 currently.
Please guide me to deal with this problem.  Thanks a lot!
