In this article I will tell you about the -timeout nn command line parameter and how to use it.
java -jar selenium-server.jar -port 4545 -timeout 50000
Here you are setting the timeout to 50 secs. You can increase the time depending on the server response time.

This time is for every command or for the entire test run??, if is it the last case, how can you increase the time out of each commands (like in the options of Selenium IDE)??
