On various actions - such as Execute DOS Command or Run Program - it would be nice to fail the action if the action doesn't return in X amount of time.  
  
Is there a way to do this with the current version of FinalBuilder?

Hi Jason,  
  
Unfortunately, there is no way to do this in the current version of FinalBuilder. However, it’s definitely on the to-do list for a future version.
