I have a real simple resource manager that reads and returns a string from a
device on a terminal server. The device may be non-functional at times and
I need to terminate the thread after 60 Sec or so and return an error to the
client. I am not sure how to do that. I have attached a copy of the server
code.
Thanks in advance.
→ it can be done ←
