how to stop program execution

[JackMorris]

A project which I am doing takes 6 mins as an execution time.

If I want the program execution to stop at 3 mins how can i do that?

If You starts slow operation in a new thread, You can anytime interrupt it. To do it after 3 mins, use Timer (SetTimer() etc.). If You starts the slow operation not in a new thread, Timer's messages will probably not be processed by application - then You can program system timer (int0) with a driver to check time.

You could use SetTimer. At the start of your program execute a SetTimer command with a time of 180*1000 (i.e. 180,000 milliseconds). 3 minutes later a TIMER event will be triggered and you trap this and kill your program.
