There are two timeouts to deal with

1) service_check_timeout

which is how long the Nagios process will let a check run before killing it

2) The plugins internal default timeout

This is usually 10 seconds.

So to get a normal plugin to run, for say, 60 seconds, and have the 
potential to let any plugin run up to 90 seconds, you would want to set 
service_check_timeout to 90 and then use the -t flag to the check command 
to allow it to go over 10 seconds.
