You can run a test for five minutes using --test=300, or a real session
for five minutes using --max-run=300 (that session is resumable, and
will run for another 5 minutes each time you resume it).
We do not support --fork with --test yet. We do for MPI though, which is
otherwise much like fork if you run it on a single host.
./john --fork=4 (...) ~= mpirun -np 4 ./john (...)
