ash-4.4# timeout 5.0m ls
timeout: invalid time interval `5.0m'
Try `timeout --help' for more information.

ash-4.4# timeout 5m ls
CHANGES.txt  how_to_run_from_scheduler.md  images  LICENSE  my-other-scripts.md  README.md  syno_account_sign_in.md  videostation_for_722.sh

On my SA6400 build DSM 7.2.2-72806 Update 3, somehow the timeout command doesn't take time interval 5.0m in the script. I have to change it to 5m and get the script working.

I just checked in shellcheck and it said both timeout 5.0m and timeout 5m are valid. I'll change it to timeout 5m.
