This is a follow-up to this thread:

I'm making an RSS feed reader. I want the application to automatically
check for updates every hour. I'm confused about the best way to
implement this.
I wrote a function that has an infinite loop. It will connect to each
RSS feed and check for updates, then "snooze" for 1 hour:
int32 update_thread_function(void* data)
{
while (true) {
// Update each RSS feed
// right HERE!
// Wait for one hour
snooze(ONE_HOUR, B_NORMAL_PRIORITY);
}
}
I call the function using "spawn_thread" and "resume_thread" when the
application starts.
Is this a good way to do it? Do I need to stop the thread myself when
the application quits? What would be the best way to stop the thread? I
don't want memory leaks or data corruption.
Please let me know if I didn't explain my situation very well. :P
Thank you.
