Tom, if you're interested, I coded a timer multiplexor for Linux
(user space, I mean) a time ago, and although it hasn't been released
yet, has been in use for a year in The Puto Amo Window Manager, so I
think it is pretty stable. It's GPL'd, but not released yet because
it lacks documentation by now and I want to change a couple of
things.
If you want, I can attach you the code (is pretty simple), or
even better, you can go to www.pleyades.net/~pawm, download the
window manager and pick the code from there (is a bit more updated
that mine, since has a couple of contributions). The file is called
timux.[c,h], and needs too the file chain.c for the data container.
Just let me know. And count on any help you need with TiMux ;))
