    Description

      Currently the puppet_agent modules uses the command "timeout" in 'templates/install_puppet.bat.erb' However this is ambiguous because timeout exists in the Windows\system32 and in the cygwin binaries. This causes timeout.exe to fail with the following in the logs;

      C:\cygwin64\home\Administrator>timeout /t 5 /nobreak  1>NUL 
      timeout: invalid time interval ‘/t’
      		 
      Try 'timeout --help' for more information.
