Re: Simple pthread question
I have successfully used sleep in this situation. I wanted a process that
activated every hour (it did some "garbage collection"), so it went something
like
while (1) {
sleep(3600);
do_stuff();
}
and the other threads worked fine.

You can use them, since they use nanosleep() which is I think re-entrant. If you are using digital unix pthreads implementation, there is something like pthread_delay_np() which you can still use.
