Skipping the intro: I need to know if there is any function in the kernel to get the process sleeping, as down_interruptible(...), but with timeouts, I mean, I want the process to wake up if no signal is detected in a while... Thanks anyway, -- Ricardo J. Rodríguez www.deathhc.tk #329385 | [Registered Linux User]
