# Launching remote kernel--increase timeout time

When launching several remote kernels manually on a cluster (as described in here under Remote Kernels/Manual Launching') I see quite frequently the following error:

General::time: Operation LaunchKernels timed out after 10. seconds.

(and of course, these kernels do not start). My guess: if the remote kernel does not launch in a given time (10 seconds) then the controlling kernel interrupts and continues with the next kernel (if requested). Thus my question: is it possible to modify (in particular to increase) the timeout time? Given limited documentation (both LaunchRemote and LinkCreate do not give much information) I could not find any solution to this issue.

To be more specific here is the code I use to launch 8 remote kernels on a particular host "node642" (all machines are running Linux, with same version of Mathematica installed on each machine) using ssh connection:

Needs["SubKernelsRemoteKernels"];
LaunchKernels[RemoteMachine["node642", "ssh -x -f -l 3 1 /wolfram/mathematica/11.2.0/bin/math -mathlink -linkmode Connect 4 -linkname '2`' -subkernel -noinit -nopaclet >& /dev/null &", 8]]

For obvious reasons, I am interested in a solution which does not requre using GUI.
