introducing a sleep would effect the process,
either it is a foreground or background process
if you are so particular in guaranteeing 3 seconds use sigALARM for 3 seconds
check for the following code;
the above code uses clock function and hence only the real time used by the process would be affected the sleep(3) and not the cpu time.
clock function will account only for the CPU and system time and not the context switch to sleep state and hence sleep cannot track the 3 seconds
you need to use the following structure in /usr/include/sys/time.h

Hi,
I have a doubt in introducing a delay in the programs.
We know that we do have a sleep() function/api using which
we can bring a delay in terms of seconds.
A minimum delay can be atleast 1 second.
Now I'm bothered about how to introduce a delay that is just
less than a second. Like... (3 Replies)

We are forking a process B from process A and the process B should display the details it reads from process C(daemon process) continuously.
Let us say that the process C sents 100 packets.The process B receives all the 100 packets from the process C before it prints all details of 31... (1 Reply)
Hi,
In my shell script, (as per the requirement), I am creating few files, and the processes are launched parallelly . (by using "&" at the end of the command line). As per the logic, I need to remove these files as well, after creating.

Hi,
I am trying to understand what would happen if ther is a loop without any delay like sleep statement, I feel that would add a lot of load onto the CPU. Trying to understand how the load is reduced by the introduction of sleep().
Thanks and regards
