You can also do better with timeout="$1"; shift and (exec "$@"; echo "Command completed"; kill $$) rather than re-wordsplitting the argument list.

This is not POSIX compliant as (a) the function definition should be cleanup() { ...; } and (b) job control is a bash feature not specified by POSIX (though ksh and others have it also). Nice script, though!
