Dear Unixpersons, First of all, if any of these forums (fora?) are inappropriate for my query, then I apologize in advance. Next, my question: I am writing a real-time control program to record sensor measurements and servo a robotic hand. I have been using the interval timer for scheduling events. Is there any (probably system dependent) way to schedule events more frequently than once every 10 milliseconds? For context, I am working on a HP 9000 Series 800 machine... I don't mind writing my own real-time routine to monitor the machine's hardware clock, if that is possible. So if any of you have experience doing this, or even if you don't but desire to opine, please commence. BTW, e-mail would be preferred, but I shall surely be attuned to these frequencies for the next several days. Thanks, Mark
