Then implement a timer with pthread_cond_timedwait(). For example, have a timer thread sitting in a loop and calling pthread_cond_timedwait() inside with the timeout of your timer. When it gets back the execution it can call a function belonging to your timer. This function (callback) then can talk to that POSIX thread. The timer thread can then go back and wait again to shoot.
