[chef] is there a timeout attr for the service resource?

hai.

In a recipe, the service resource to start mysql threw an exception because it
took too long for it to start mysql. The node that runs this recipe should be
expected to possibly take several minutes to start mysql, since innodb is 
doing
a recovery.

[2013-09-13T21:37:46+00:00] DEBUG: service[mysql] supports status, running
[2013-09-13T21:47:56+00:00] DEBUG: Re-raising exception: 
Mixlib::ShellOut::CommandTimeout - service[mysql] (dbci::drone line 61) had 
an error: Mixlib::ShellOut::CommandTimeout: command timed out:
---- Begin output of /sbin/service mysql start ----
STDOUT: Starting MySQL (Percona Server)............

After this exception was thrown, mysql actually did finish successfully 
starting
up.

I looked for a way to set a timeout for the service resource, but didn't see
a way to do it. Can anyone advise?

thanks,
