The max_seconds keyword allows you to have the job gracefully exit after a  
preset amount of time has elapsed. Also from what I understand you can  
force the job to end by creating a file prefix.EXIT in the outdir (where  
prefix is the job prefix you've set in the pwscf input file).

Brgrds,

Simon
