Modify CGI script timeout defaults from IIS

We run a CGI script every day. It starts running for a while, and then we receive a message saying "Exceeded CGI's time limit." How long is CGI's time limit and is there a way to change it? Forgot to say that the WEB server is IIS.

A: IIS does have a timeout limit associated with CGI processes. The default setting is 300 seconds (5 minutes). This setting can be changed on the user interface. This setting is only visible in the Master property of the WWW service, so it is not easy to find it. Open the IIS snap-in, right-click on your server and select Properties. After selecting WWW Service Master Properties, click Edit. Click the Home Directory tab, then click the Configuration tab, then the Process Options tab, where you can see the CGI script timeout settings. If your browser does not support inline frames, click here to view them in a separate page. The Process Options tab in the Application Configuration.
