The application uses both interval timesr and sleep. I came to know that in Linux we can not use both setitimer and sleep in the application. Because both of them rely on SIGALRM. Can somebody tell me how to come out of this problem. Thanks and Regards, --thomas http://mobile.yahoo.com.au - Yahoo! Messenger for SMS - Now send & receive IMs on your mobile via SMS
