Please consider the code:
final PeriodicTimeTrigger trigger = new PeriodicTimeTrigger(
timeout, -1 );
scheduler.addTrigger( this.toString(), trigger, this );
while (parseCommand(in.readLine()))
scheduler.resetTrigger(this.toString());
socket.close();
scheduler.removeTrigger(this.toString());
Note that the trigger protects more than just socket I/O. It covers the
processing of the command (parseCommand does a lot more than just parse).
