Timer

[kingdech]

Hi,

I need a timer with the same functionality as javax.swing.Timer but my program is headless and gives errors over X window using that class. I know theres a Timer class in util too, but that seems to be more of a scheduler than timer.

I need a way to time my thread execution time, stopping it after say 60mins by checking every so often with the timer. Right now I am using the swing timer but its not stable as the swing stops it running as a background process.

Help!

Create a Thread,
repeat:
- get the time,
- if time >= critical: execute something,
- else sleep 1 minute,
<-repeat.
