#5320) **Which issue(s) this PR fixes**: Fixes #5319 **What this PR does / why we need it**: Adds `command_timeout` option to `in_exec` plugin, mirroring the existing `command_timeout` option in `out_exec`. Currently, `in_exec` calls `child_process_execute` without `wait_timeout`, defaulting to `nil` (infinite wait). When the external command hangs, Fluentd repeatedly shows `previous child process is still running. skipped.` with no indication of the actual cause, making troubleshooting difficult. `out_exec` already exposes `command_timeout` which maps to `wait_timeout` in `child_process_execute`. This PR resolves the inconsistency between the two plugins. **Docs Changes**: fluent/fluentd-docs-gitbook#619 **Release Note**: Add `command_timeout` option to `in_exec` plugin to kill long-running child processes and align behavior with `out_exec`. --------- Signed-off-by: zoklk <bjincheol34@gmail.com>
