For some of my bigger reporting agents, I've started putting a simple timer (not a lotus script timer) up front, usually at the end of a loop (convenient). Just check the start time (stored in a variable) against the current time each itteration and look for the time to exceed your own internally defined timeout... then exit gracefully, cleaning up resources as you go automatically. Keeps big reports from hogging the server during busy times when maybe they ought wait till they can complete in a reasonable time.
