Allow adjusting Read-Host default timeout

[ferventcoder]

The timeout for user input in PowerShell scripts is 30 seconds. Allow script writers to adjust that timeout.

Workaround

--use-system-powershell to have no timeout (will be a blocking operation).

How we can adjust/remove the timeout of Read-host?

[ferventcoder]

@Skolzack you can't currently. That's why this enhancement ticket exists.

[Skolzack]

Okay, thx.

[ferventcoder]

Actually, one option does exist --use-system-powershell

[robsiera]

But that option cannot be used with BoxStarter. Meaning that Read-Host cannot be used without time-out with scripts invoked with BoxStarter. Or am I missing something?

@robsiera That would be a Boxstarter issue.
