hello, i want to know whether the kernel writes to /proc dir at each seconds or as data updates are avialable? actually i want to acheive the updation to /proc entry after 2 minute interval. i successfully created a /proc/net/mytext entry but it updates that file at each seconds not after specific interval. i also use jiffies and add a timer function to be called after update to file but it will not be reflecting? the file is updates at every seconds? help me. regards, linux_lover __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
