I'm sorry, but this forum can't help you.

You see, the comp.windows.x forum is for the discussion of the X network
protocol, and the graphical windowing environments that use it. This
forum has nothing to do with timers or the settimer function.

Your question has nothing to do with X, and probably should be asked in
a different newsgroup.

I'm sorry,


PS:
a) the timer doesn't stop with SIG_IGN. SIG_IGN says that you are going
to /ignore/ any further results from the timer.

b) the trick is to keep a list of differences, and reset the timer
accordingly when it pops. For instance, if you want two alerts,
one in 30 seconds, and one in 55 seconds, you don't set two timers.
Instead, you first set the timer for 30 seconds, and when it pops,
you reset it for 55-30 = 25 seconds. Thus, the second timer pop
occurs 30 + 25 = 55 seconds after the initial (30 second) request.

When i reset the first timer function will stop , but i want it to
continue and the second timer function should also continue.
