Thanks Greg, but it looks like the version of the kernel I'm using doesn't have msleep. I realize that I should've been a little more specific: I'm using the linux kernel version 2.4.18-14. What I need to do is this - one kernel module has to wait for another kernel module to do some processing and set a flag. So I'm trying to get the listening kernel module to sleep for some time. Am I doing this the right way at all, or is there a better way of doing this? Thanks! Regards, Karthik.
