How to combine timeout and eval commands in bash

Simple:

a="echo -e 'a\nb' | wc -l"eval timeout 10 $a

Output:

bash timeout eval

This will work

if timeout "$PROGRAM" "$OPT1" "$OPT2" ... ; then    echo Program ran successfullyelse    echo Program terminated due to timeoutfi

bash timeout eval

If it's about keeping commands in variables, this will work, although don't know if it's a 'proper bash way' to do it:

command.sh:

#!/bin/bashecho -e 'a\nb' | wc -l

run.sh:

#!/bin/basha="command.sh"timeout 10 ./$a
