<TIMEOUT> in workflow

Can <timeout> take its arguments from values read from a file?

Only if you read that file from within the wft code an use it while the wft is being instantiated.

Or - and externaltask (or cgitask) script can read the data from a file and re-set the timeout value on a task based on that information (NOTE: you cannot create a timeout element in a task that was not instantiated with one, you can only alter an existing timeout element)

Can I use something like <TIMEOUT __VALUE("TO")__>?

Inside the WFT you can use
<timeout "__INSERT__($to);" />
assuming that you have set a variable $to with a valid value.

Can I use something like ?

That would have to be

    <timeout v="__TAG__('to');">

which assumes that you also have something like:

   TAG_Info(to => '<input type='text'>',....);

and thus you would be prompting for the value during instantiation.

You said you wanted to read it from a file - so you'd have do some Perl code


   my $to = "+000000";
   if (open(IN, "<$somefile")){
       chomp($to = <IN>);
   }
   ... and then, as Brinko suggested:
   <timeout v="__INSERT__($to);">
