The best method is to have your operating system
execute your function at a given time interval.
This is all operating system specific and best
answered in a newsgroup about your O.S.
For example, if your platform has an interrupt
that fires every millisecond, you could have
the interrupt call your function that sends out
a message (one of the 1000 per second).
