You can try to create your own class for your subsystem and use the 
"MAX CPU time" parameter. If you setup this parameter to anything else 
than *NOMAX, the system will end the job when it uses more than the 
number of milliseconds CPU. This is not exactly what you are looking 
for but it may help.
