Does anyone know of a way to put a process to sleep *reliably* for less
than one second? sleep(3) and alarm(2) won't help cause they work in whole
seconds. I don't want to just "waste time" via an idiot loop - I really want
to put the process to sleep (it gets tired and could use the rest) but for
only half a second or so. I've heard rumors of a nap() function (perhaps on
4.xBSD?) but, alas, I'm running UN*X System V and there ain't no such animal.
If anyone has any insight on this, please reply via UN*X mail. I'll post
any useful info. Thanks in advance.
