I ran into the same thing for my lab logging scripts. Instead of using the windows sleep command I wrote an 'alarm' command: http://www.leapsecond.com/tools/alarm.c http://www.leapsecond.com/tools/alarm.exe I use this to periodically snapshot log files, generate plots, and then upload to: http://www.leapsecond.com/lab/lab.htm The code should compile on unix systems as well. /tvb _______________________________________________ time-nuts mailing list -- time-nuts@febo.com To unsubscribe, go to https://www.febo.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/time-nuts and follow the instructions there.
