In the main program (the parent of the fork) just poll on the input FD. That way, you always have the most up to date values. If the values update more often than every 5 seconds because of other requests, all the better! Also, then you won't need to send a request every 5 seconds. Instead, set a 5 second watchdog timer that triggers the request on timeout. It really isn't all that hard, but as I said before, the pmc is really a simple tool. The only truly robust way is to send UDS packets from your application directly, just as phc2sys does. If you don't mind linking to a GPL (not LPGL) program, you can even use the helper functions in pmc_common.c HTH, Richard ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Check out the vibrant tech community on one of the world's most engaging tech sites, Slashdot.org! http://sdm.link/slashdot _______________________________________________ Linuxptp-users mailing list Linuxptp-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/linuxptp-users
