I had this working under V2 by passing the --monitored flag to regression.py. However, after the specified time, it killed all user applications, including explorer!

What I am now using, which works as expected, is '-lT' where T is the time in seconds. -l600 works well for me. What I have is:

import regression

...

def test( toolsets, runner, v2=True, timeout=0, incremental=False, user=None ):
    platform  = regression.platform_name()
    monitored = ''
    if not timeout == 0:
        monitored = '-l%d ' % ( timeout * 60 )

    monitor( 'Building the required tools.' )
    regression.setup( comment, None, None, None, None, None, v2, [] )

    for tool in toolsets:
        monitor( 'Running the tests for %s.' % tool )
        regression.test( tool, '%swarnings=on' % monitored, None, timeout, v2, [] )

    monitor( 'Collecting the test results.' )
    regression.collect_logs( tag, runner, platform, user, comment, incremental, [] )

HTH,
