RE: [misterhouse-users] iButton_ws_client questions

[Brent D. <br...@de...>]

I just had a problem with sleep being ignored as well. I ended up using the
select() call, like:

select(undef,undef,undef,0.50);

Note that you can have less than one second resolution with this call, hence
the 0.50 for 1/2 second.

I even had this problem when I called a shell script that had a sleep 1 in
it using "run script.sh", still no pause.
