I'm trying to write a simple shell script that will launch a program (in this 
case lynx), wait 60 seconds and then kill it. I can get it to launch the 
program, but it seems to ignore anything after that. I am not a programmer so 
does anyone have a suggestion on this script? Any help would be appreciated.
