How to terminate whole test in jMeter after a fixed amount of time?

I wrote a windows batch script that runs a group of parametrized jMeter tests. However the test sometimes hang (should take aprox. 2 minutes, takes 5 hour for no reason - can Gaussian Random Timer cause that?). I really need the whole batch job to finish within some time bounds. So:

Is it possible to set a maximum execution time for a jMeter test after which the whole test along with all threads is terminated?

Note: Scheduler doesn't really do the trick (I set startup delay = 0 and duration = 20 and the test still doen't finish in under a minute).

Do a thread dump to see what is happening as this may indicate an issue on server side.

Do you have this log in jmeter.log or in console:

The following non-daemon threads are still running (DestroyJavaVM is OK)

To overcome this:

  1. configure timeouts on HTTP Sampler

  2. Use scheduler and configure it to run for a duration
