I want to send a message to a process without having the process wait for
the message.

I have a loop and at a certain point I want to check for a message from
another process, eg a pulse.

I there a way for a pulse to be checked for and not cause the process
checking for the pulse to block??

Cheers.

event.sigev_notify = SIGEV_UNBLOCK;
TimerTimeout(CLOCK_REALTIME, _NTO_TIMEOUT_RECEIVE, &event, NULL, NULL );
MsgReceive(chid, buff, buff_size, &info);

I believe this will keep the process from blcking on the MsgReceive call.
