Try pthread library. You can use thread concept n all functions are there in pthread library.

And it should also wait upon an event, on whose occurence it will conrtinue with the initial processing. While waiting it should not use CPU cycles. I want to know how to implement this. just to be more clear, say... sleep(5), when this is sleeping if in the 3rd second the event arrives it should go to its signal handler or whatever and continue with the initial processing before it started sleeping. sleep can't be interrupted. so how should I implement it? Thanks. Gowri. _______________________________________________ ilugd mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://frodo.hserus.net/mailman/listinfo/ilugd Get Your Private, Free E-mail from Indiatimes at http://email.indiatimes.com Buy The Best In BOOKS at http://www.bestsellers.indiatimes.com Bid for Air Tickets on Air Sahara Flights at Prices Lower Than Before.
