I have a function that occasionally hangs. Normally I would set an alarm, but I'm in Windows and it's unavailable. Is there a simple way around this, or should I just create a thread that calls time.sleep()? Ended up going with a thread. Only trick was using os._exit instead of sys.exit import os import time import threading clas...
Are there any way to access or set iphone's alarm? Im assuming if this isn't available, the only other way is push notification to alert the user on a timed interval. Any ideas? ...
My program has a daily routine, similar to an alarm clock event. Say, when it's 2pm(The time is the system time in my pc), do something for me.

I'm building some FastCGI apps and it sort of bugs me that lighttpd doesn't kill them off after they've been idle, so I'm trying to have them close on their own. I tried using signal(SIGALRM, close); alarm(300); and having the close function execute exit(0), and that works almost well. The problem is the close function is being call...

I'm noticing a strange thing with Alarms on Android - they don't always wake up the device at the correct intervals. For example, if I set an alarm to start a service every 5 minutes (using RTC_WAKEUP, or similar), everything works fine until the device goes to sleep - after that, the alarm may not fire for minutes, or close to an hour. ...

If something goes wrong and the server needs to be reestarted the address the client has is not valid anymore.

If I use alarm() function call within main.pl, then it terminates the whole Perl program (here main.pl), so I called this system command by placing it in a separate Pe...
I've got an Android application which needs to be woken up sporadically throughout the day. To do this, I'm using the AlarmManager to set up a PendingIntent and have this trigger a BroadcastReceiver. This BroadcastReceiver then starts an Activity to bring the UI to the foreground. All of the above seems to work, in that the Activity la...

That's not a big deal because I catch those with alarm. The trick is to shut down those hung grandchild processes when t...
