- /* timer.c --- daemon to provide a tagged interval timer service
-
- This little daemon runs forever waiting for commands to schedule events.
- SIGALRM causes
- it to check its queue for events attached to the current second; if
- one is found, its label is written to stdout. SIGTERM causes it to
- terminate, printing a list of pending events.
-
- This program is intended to be used with the lisp package called
- timer.el. The first such program was written anonymously in 1990.
- This version was documented and rewritten for portability by
- esr@snark.thyrsus.com, Aug 7 1992. */
