interrupting the processing of the data in accordance with a result of monitoring an amount of time taken to execute the first program, and starting a second program registered in the system so that the data is processed, wherein the system event indicates that the data to be processed has been stored in a predetermined storage location, and wherein the second program is registered without being associated with the predetermined storage location. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The non-transitory computer-readable medium according to claim 1, wherein the amount of time taken to execute the first program includes one of an amount of time elapsed from when the first program is executed, a remaining amount of time permitted for the execution of the first program, and a remaining amount of time at which it is determined that the second program is to be started. ### Claim 3 (depends on 1) The non-transitory computer-readable medium according to claim 1, wherein the processing is interrupted in response to the amount of time elapsed from when the first program is executed exceeding a limit time; and the second program is started before the amount of time elapsed from when the first program is executed exceeds the limit time. ### Claim 4 (depends on 1) The non-transitory computer-readable medium according to claim 1, wherein the second program is started in the case where a number of retries carried out in response to the execution time of the first program exceeding a limit time has exceeded a predetermined number. ### Claim 5 (depends on 1) The non-transitory computer-readable medium according to claim 1, wherein more computing resources are assigned to the second program than to the first program. ### Claim 6 (depends on 1) The non-transitory computer-readable medium according to claim 1, wherein the second program processes the same data as the first program. ### Claim 7 (depends on 1) The non-transitory computer-readable medium according to claim 1, wherein the second program has the same code as the first program. ### Claim 8 A system that provides a service that executes a first script, the system comprising: at least one processor; and at least one memory storing instructions, wherein, upon execution of the stored instructions, the at least one processor functions as: a detection unit configured to detect a system event; a processing unit configured to process data using computing resources registered in association with a first script in accordance with detection of the system event; a monitoring unit configured to monitor an amount of time taken to execute the first script; and an execution unit configured to interrupt the processing of the data in accordance with a result of monitoring the amount of time taken to execute the first script, and start a second script registered in the system so that the data is processed, wherein the system event indicates that the data to be processed has been stored in a predetermined storage location, and wherein the second script is registered without being associated with the predetermined storage location. ### Claim 9 (depends on 8) The system according to claim 8, wherein the amount of time taken to execute the first script includes one of an amount of time elapsed from when the first script is executed, a remaining amount of time permitted for the execution of the first script, and a remaining amount of time at which it is determined that the second script is to be started. ### Claim 10 (depends on 8) The system according to claim 8, wherein the processing is interrupted in response to the amount of time elapsed from when the first script is executed exceeding a limit time; and the execution unit starts the second script before the amount of time elapsed from when the first script is executed exceeds the limit time. ### Claim 11 (depends on 8) The system according to claim 8, wherein the execution unit executes the second script registered in the system in the case where a number of retries carried out in response to the execution time of the first script exceeding the limit time has exceeded a predetermined number; and the data being processed by the processing unit is processed as a result of the second script. ### Claim 12 (depends on 8) The system according to claim 8, wherein the second script has the same code as the first script; and more computing resources are assigned to the second script than to the first script. ### Claim 13 (depends on 8) The system according to claim 8, wherein the second script processes the same data as the first script. ### Claim 14 An information processing method in a system that provides a service that executes a first script, the method comprising: detecting a system event; processing data using computing resources registered in association with a first script in accordance with detection of the system event; monitoring an amount of time taken to execute the first script; and interrupting the processing of the data and executing a second script registered in the system so that the data is processed, in accordance with a result of monitoring the amount of time taken to execute the first script, wherein the system event indicates that the data to be processed has been stored in a predetermined storage location, and wherein the second script is registered without being associated with the predetermined storage location.
