-Additionally, a developer can run the [config python script](../examples/config.py) to launch linear or circular chains of multiple example NFs from a JSON config file. An example config file can be found [here](../examples/example_chain.json). In the config file, a user can specify a number of seconds for the chain to run before shutdown with the global "TTL". If no timeout is specified, the chain will run until a raised error or a manual shutdown (Ctrl + C).
