To some extent, yes. You could use something like lbolt to normalize
this though.
- Schedule a task to run at certain times. How do I achieve this? Which
functions can I use from within the kernel to use the timer?
You could use timeout().
- Are there any other possibilities? Do they have certain
advantages/disadvantages?
You could also look at the interface in cyclic.h. The only problem
with this is that it's not a public interface and so your build env.
would be tied to ON.
Please don't use cyclic.h right now. Much better, IMO, to use timeout()
or taskq(9f) or some combination of the two.
