Hello, I am developing this free file manager (see screenshots and download it at http://segusoland.sourceforge.net ! It is already working.) with SWI-prolog and GTK+, and I need to schedule actions to be executed in the future. For example, you could choose to shut down the computer at a precise time. I don't know where to start. I know that I need to register myself to some kind of timer and get asleep. But where? I already get asleep waiting for a GTK event... I cannot be sleeping in two places. So I guess GTK should provide this kind of functionality (awaking you at a precidse time). Could you please give me some hint, so we can all use my program :-) ? Thank you. -- Best Regards, Maurizio Colucci Please remove the uppercase letters "S,P,A,M": seSgPuAsMo.forever@xxxxxx _______________________________________________ gtk-list@xxxxxxxxx http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-list
