See the documentation of select(), you can pass it a timeout
value as the last argument, making select() return when either
you can read from one of the file descriptors or the timeout
limit has been reached. So you don't need any extra timers. If
you need more details I or somebody else will answer your ques-
tions in comp.unix.programmer.

Cool! This saves a lot of "extra researching"!!!! Thank you
No, it doesn't save you anything.
Jens (and if I am any judge of character, I think he will be the first
to agree with me here) may be mistaken, perhaps in a subtle way that
will bite you later. How will you know, except by finding some experts
in the field and checking with them? That may mean getting a good book
on the subject, or it may mean finding a newsgroup where your question
/is/ topical. Peer review on C questions here in comp.lang.c is first
class, but peer review on non-C questions is notoriously lacking.
