I'm also still not happy about the question of whether it's safe to assume tv_sec is signed. I think the running state should be just finish_time, and then inside the loop when we are about to wait, we could do current_time = time(NULL); if (current_time >= finish_time) { // failure exit } remains.tv_sec = finish_time - current_time; remains.tv_usec = 0; // pass &remains to select... regards, tom lane ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 6: Have you searched our list archives? http://archives.postgresql.org
