I'm writing an application server which receives requests from other applications. For each request received, I want to start a timer so that I can fail the application request if it could not be completed in max specified time. Which Linux timer facility can be used for this? I have checked out alarm() and signal() system calls, but these calls doesn't take an argument, so its not possible to associate application request with the matured alarm. Any inputs?
