I am wanting to run a task that does not block out the process when keyboard input is requested. What I need is for a keyboard hit (may be console, tty, etc) to interrupt the process. Sun workstations have SIGIO which does this providing that the network doesn't get in the way. Rather than polling repeatedly with a 0 timeout which will take away CPU time, is there some other way? I am running ESIX rev D. Any ideas would be appreciated. Eric Beser Westinghouse Aerospace Software Engineering (301)-765-1010
