Thread Timeout

Ruby
1

Hi list,

i’m working with multiple threads, with a producer-consumer like
algorithm.
My problem is that i want that the “consumer” thread take all the
content every N seconds and after go to “sleep” again, It’s the
Timeout library a good solution? I can use Ruby 1.9 and 1.8 as well.

Thanks,
Francesco V.

Why do you want to do that? If you want to schedule activity with
particular intervals then I believe a scheduling solution would be
better. In a simplistic solution you can have the main thread sleep for
the interval and create a thread for each task.

You go first. :wink: You did not yet describe what kind of problem you are
trying to solve.

Btw, sleeping and starting threads isn’t that hard.
