Cancel RosService Call

In my program I have a service call when I need to get some data.

if(ros::service:call("service_x", call_x))

This service goes and gets data from a sensor, processes the data, and pubishes the results.

I want to know if there is way that I can cancel or kill this service call if the sensor node crashes or becomes unresponsive.

Thanks All

No, services do not support timeouts, cancellation or preemption.

If you need that, you should probably take a look at actionlib.
