I've searched for this, but haven't found a single command yet - how would i run say hello.o for n amount of seconds on the terminal.?

+1  A: 
 watch -n 60 hello.o

If you want to run hello.o for n number of seconds for X number of times

x=0
n=60
while [ "$x" -lt 10 ]; do ./hello.o; ((x++));sleep $n; done

This will run `hello.o` once every 60 seconds forever.

yes, and so, what's your point? It can't be used?
