Ok. I asked my friend and this are his results: 23:21:32 : Timer started 23:21:35 : PC Goes Sleep 23:22:50 : PC Wakes 23:22:50 : Timer fired 23:23:50 : Timer fired using System; using System.Collections.Generic; using System.Text; using System.Threading; namespace Test { class Program { static System.Timers.Timer timer; static void Main(string[] args) { timer = … Read more
Because you’re working with a preemptive operating system, there’s no way you can guarantee that your process will be able to have control of the CPU in 25ms. If you’d still like to try, it would be better to have a busy loop that polls until 25ms has passed. Something like this might work: import … Read more
Call the interrupt() method on your thread. This will cause the sleep to be cancelled and an InterruptedException will be thrown.
Lua doesn’t provide a standard sleep function, but there are several ways to implement one, see Sleep Function for detail. For Linux, this may be the easiest one: function sleep(n) os.execute(“sleep ” .. tonumber(n)) end In Windows, you can use ping: function sleep(n) if n > 0 then os.execute(“ping -n ” .. tonumber(n+1) .. ” … Read more
The granularity of sleeps is generally bound by the thread scheduler’s interrupt period. In Linux, this interrupt period is generally 1ms in recent kernels. In Windows, the scheduler’s interrupt period is normally around 10 or 15 milliseconds If I have to halt threads for periods less than this, I normally use a busy wait EDIT: … Read more
According to MSDN’s documentation for Sleep: A value of zero causes the thread to relinquish the remainder of its time slice to any other thread that is ready to run. If there are no other threads ready to run, the function returns immediately, and the thread continues execution. The important thing to realize is that … Read more
Node is asynchronous by nature, and that’s what’s great about it, so you really shouldn’t be blocking the thread, but as this seems to be for a project controlling LED’s, I’ll post a workaraound anyway, even if it’s not a very good one and shouldn’t be used (seriously). A while loop will block the thread, … Read more
It seems fine to me (or raw_input() in Python 2.X). Alternatively, you could use time.sleep() if you want to pause for a certain number of seconds. import time print(“something”) time.sleep(5.5) # Pause 5.5 seconds print(“something”)
wait waits for a process to finish; sleep sleeps for a certain amount of seconds.
tl;dr If a command’s output results in automatic tabular display (implicit Format-Table), display output can situationally be delayed for up to 300 ms. (see below for why and when), which can have two unexpected effects: As in the question, a subsequent Start-Sleep submitted before the delay has elapsed further delays output for (at least) the … Read more
