I dont require that. Let me quote my original email: > I do not need each print_counter to be executed exactly at a very > precise moment but just that the overall frequency stays the same. > After having it run 1000 times with a frequency of 1Hz I want 1000 > seconds to have passed. This is also why I made the comparison to watch(1) with the --precise argument, which does what I want but has other deficiencies.
