Can I be sure that, whatever recent distribution of Linux I am using, when in the man specifications for a call I see "suspends execution" or "blocks execution" (like for wait(),pthread_join() ,select()..) the calling thread or process leaves the CPU (does not keep CPU busy) and is put at the end of its priority queue for successive scheduling? Thanks Alessio Stella

That's the idea I get from reading the man page. But, you should talk to the developers to be sure. Cheers! Coauthor of Beginning Fedora: From Novice to Professional published by Apress.

Forgot to complete my last message. I was going to suggest these programming specific forum boards where you'll probably find an answer: http://cboard.cprogramming.com/ http://www.programmingforums.org/ http://forums.devshed.com/ http://www.codeguru.com/forum/ http://forum.codecall.net/ Cheers!
