ra/SAPHanaRA* - HANA_CALL reason for inner timeout?

[PeterPitterling]

2cc0fba introduced an inner timeout call for the command to be executed

unfortunately, the commit comment does not provide more insights.

The reason for this clarification is the current modification to get rid of the HDBSettings.sh call. The inner timeout does not like 'cdpy' as first command. see #121

an additional true as first command would work around this, but the question is, whether this 2nd timeout could be removed at all ?!

[PeterPitterling]

a fix for the cdpy issue would be to use the pre_script variable as offered in PR #124

[[ $cmd == python* ]] && pre_script="cdpy" || pre_script="true"

timeout --foreground -s 9 60 su - oqladm -c "(cdpy; timeout --foreground -s 9 60 python landscapeHostConfiguration.py)"

The first timeout is for the 'pre_cmd', especially for the 'su ' to handle situations, where the user authentication is not working (e.g. sidadm user defined in ldap or Active Directory). The second timeout is for the called HANA command like systemReplicationStatus.py or others. So we can NOT remove the second timeout.
And as a side note - everything added after the '$pre_cmd' is running in context of the used shell of the sidadm user, which might be bash or csh. Especially the 'csh' had caused me headaches in the past 😅 as I'm not used to work in csh environments.
