    pthreads , signals and alarm

    I am creating a program which will have 2 threads. I want two of them to suspend themselves for a fixed period of time (which is different for both of them).
    They have to be woken up by an alarm /SIGALRM/ set timer or something similar.

    How do I do it?

    I am using Linux with pthreads library
