----------------------+-------------------------------------
 Hello,
    I cannot add a timeout to RemoveDirectory, and the current default of 4
 minutes is too short for my situation.

 As a workaround +skelly on IRC suggested I use a ShellCommand, which
 should work I think.

 The error message is
 [12:50] <ccrome>
 sending app-level keepalive
 2015-04-23 19:04:16-0700 [-] command timed out: 120 seconds without
 output, attempting to kill

 Ideally, it should just be the in the RemoveDirectory command.

 Thanks,
