If you don't fix it by tomorrow I will have a look when I get home from
work. It looks like your mostly doing it right I would print out your
variables and make sure everything is right. I know it looks right in how
your setting them but maybe they are getting reset or something somewhere by
a bad pointer.
I will look tomorrow with GDB but for now I have to get to bed got to get up
at 5

So are you saying it continues to block right now or is it returning to
quickly?

select can wait that long, but I'm not extremely worried about waiting 50
ms, my idea is that it will wait the time, or if there are new events it'll
grab them and keep going.

Before I look in to this code any more are you sure your computer will wait
50 ms? Try doing a hard loop printing out the times. The reason I ask is
sometimes things like Cygwin will not wait as it should. Note it also will
only wait 50 ms if you don't' get some other event. If you want to continue
to wait you will have to put an if after the select and continue until it
reaches the amount of time you're waiting for. If you do this remember to
decrement the time out value by the amount it took to get back to the select
or you will be waiting another new 50 ms.
Again though if you check your computer and it can wait 50 ms let me know. I
will then take a closer look.

Hello list,
I've got a quick question.
I've attached a copy of the code that I'm using, just so the full thing is
there.
I'm writing a mud skeleton, and was wonddering if anyone could spot the
problem; I'm trying to get select to run and block for 50 ms, then keep
going. I think it's set to 5 ms right now, which is fine too.
It is not doing that though, which is causing a bit of trouble because my
scheduler needs to run too.
I probably will have other classes that run at a later date, but right now
it's just the server and the scheduler class that get pulses.
Any ideas would be great.
Comments on the code are welcome, too.
I've come a long way from wondering why anyone would want to ever use a
makefile, but I'm by no means the best at what I'm attempting. :)
