putting threads to sleep

["karl rentsch" <krentsch@btr-auto.aust.com>]

Hi all,

I've got a problem I hope someone can help me with.  I'm trying to put a
thread to sleep but I don't want to tie up the system using usleep() or
nanosleep().  I've tried using pthread_make_periodic_np configured as a
one shot timer (ie. it needs to repeat several times but for different
time intervals) but it doesn't seem to work
Any help would be much appreciated
Thanks
