**Used** **In:** Script sections

**Status:** Optional

You use the `Script-Timeout` attribute to define the desired period of time for which the script will wait for completion of any directive to a device. By default, `Script-Timeout` values are set to 60 seconds in NetMRI. You can specify a custom timeout value. The maximum timeout is limited by the **DIS max timeout** (Device Interaction Service max timeout) value that you specify in **Settings** → **General Settings** → **Advanced Settings** → **Job Management**. Setting this value will globally apply to the entire CCS script.
