thread help needed.....

[psan...@gmail.com]

Hi,

I am writing program using threads, and it should behave something
like this.
Thread should wait for message received from specific socket, and if
message is received thread should continue normally, but if message is
not received in couple of seconds thread should do something else.
I implemented timeouts by using pthread_cond_wait until counter (which
is incremented every sec) comes to certain value, but I do not know
how to unblock thread if message is received.
Any help is apprisiated.

/cheers,

[Steve Watt]

No threads needed here.
