Feature Request - add timer for tasks

Hi,
It would be pretty convenient if we could set on timer on the password cracking tasks. So that multiple users don't have to wait for the previous tasks to end (which could be very long).
I'd be ready to contribute to the development of this feature if needed, you can contact me @jaybeehare on Twitter.
I definitely think this would be a useful feature to have - to allow a user to create a job that has a max runtime of N hours before it checkpoints and stops.
I honestly probably wont get around to adding features until Q2 (March/April) so if you want to try and tackle this, go ahead! I can make myself available on IRC or elsewhere for questions. I would probably start by adding this to the workmgr as that is responsible for receiving the messages from the workers and dispatching them within the server.
Ok, I should be able to do it before you then, I'll dig into it soon. I can be found on freenode #crousti.
I'm tankbusta on freenode
