Is there an alternative for the timeout command on Mac OSx. The basic requirement is I am able to run a command for a specified amount of time.
e.g:
timeout 10 ping google.com
This program runs ping for 10s on Linux.

As kvz stated simply use homebrew:
brew install coreutils
Now the timeout command is already ready to use - no aliases are required (and no gtimeout required, although also available).
