Yes that should work. As you guess the outer timeout will intervene 1 second after the inner (softer) one tries.

Is there a way to first try the 'clean' timeout, and if it does not work, use the 'dirty' way? For example timeout -s 9 2 timeout 1 myscript - after 1 second kill with sigterm, after 2 seconds kill with -9. Will this work?
