Hello guys,

I need OS support in my application to receive signal or event from OS
when I configure it for particular date and time. In short, I am
expecting OS notification in my application on particular date and
time. Can anybody please help me on, how to implement this on linux?


what about:

echo "killall -USR1 programm" | at -t 200610011100.00

to send the signal USR1 to your program on Oct 1, 2006 at 12:00:00 AM

Sorry, I mean 11:00:00 AM

Too late, you missed it ;-)
Yes this is a nice way.
But 'killall' is a bit dangerous, then use kill with the pid, killall
will kil lall instances.
