timeout for doing what ? what`s the sense of calling a CGI script by
cron ? 

be more specific. a cgi script can be written in several languages.
generally, a cgi script itself has no timeout, at least AFAIK.

of course, if it takes some action before sending out a http response,
you might add a timeout for this action by adding some code. search the
docu of your script language for signal handling and the alarm signal.
