That's a good suggestion - thank Gary.

I've located the mtx package, and have tried two versions: mtx_1.3.12-4_amd64 
and mtx_1.3.12-3_amd64. The actual binary is in /usr/sbin/mtx and was installed 
by the Debian Aptitude package manager.

When I tried editing this in nano, it appears as if it's not a shell script but 
rather a compiled executable file - and I can't for the life of me work out 
what arguments to pass, or variables to change to increase the timeout value.

Any thoughts?
