Thanks for your prompt reply!
First, I can't find "examples/misc/posix_mod.c" in my 3.0pre9
distribution. What is in "examples/misc" (and mentioned in _Getting
Started_), however, is nanosleep.c. Is that what you suggest I
study.
If so, that would force me to make my thread sleep until nanosleep's
period has expired. I would rather have the thread continue to be
active. I just want a way to start (restart) another thread that will
asynchronously set a global variable after a certain period. The
thread that starts up that "time out" thread can continue being active
to inputs.
Sorry if I am being unclear and/or dumb about this. But I remember in
RSX-11 years ago being able to request that an "event variable" (EV)
be set after a certain period passes. That EV would appear as a
condition on a state transition diagram. I am sure RTL can do the
same, but I just can't seem to see how.
Thanks again Victor!
