killing thread

[Vitale Ferruccio]

Hi all,

I've two threads: the former blocked in an sleep(seconds) and the latter
which have to kill the former. Even if I call pthread_cancel or deliver
a SIGTERM signal with pthread_kill, the former thread continues to
run and it exits only after timer expires.

Any ideas?

Regards
Ferruccio

Unfortunately threads are not part of the standard C programming language.
Try asking in a newsgroup such as comp.programmin g.threads.

Yes. Post on a group where sleep and pthreads are on topic. They are off
topic here where we only deal with standard C. Alse read the FAQ and
recent posts for the group before posting. I suggest you look for groups
with "thread", "posix" or "unix" in the name.
