Description:
------------
PHP version:
PHP 7.0.14-1~dotdeb+8.1 (cli) ( NTS )
Copyright (c) 1997-2016 The PHP Group
Zend Engine v3.0.0, Copyright (c) 1998-2016 Zend Technologies
    with Zend OPcache v7.0.14-1~dotdeb+8.1, Copyright (c) 1999-2016, by Zend Technologies

Try to set max_execution_time to custom value bigger than 0. php -i gives max_execution-time always 0

Test script:
---------------
1. editing /etc/php/7.0/cli/php.ini
2. setting max_execution_time to 30 seconds
3. php -i | grep max_execution
shows max_execution_time =0
4. let's see path to php.ini? 
php -i | grep php.ini

Hi *,
the max execution time is hardcoded to 0 for the cli.
You can set the max_execution_time on the commandline with 

php -d max_execution_time=5 script.php

or in the script:

set_time_limit(10); // this way
ini_set('max_execution_time', 10); // or this way

Greetings,
Dierk

why it is so on 7.0 branch? or it will be always 0 in future also?

As mentioned, the value is hard-coded in CLI to override the default in configuration.
