do you mix up with nanosleep()(http://linux.die.net/man/3/usleep)? so, if I right, I have settled the sleep time at 0.1s (jwm uses the frequency of the microprocessor to set the sleep time). When I wrote this I expected to get something who works.I will try with select()or poll()as you suggested, it sound better.

thx,
