Hey Ben Thanks for quick response.

No, I do want the waitUntilDate because I do not solely want to wait for the signal. So you are saying it should rather be like this? while (!quit) { [pollingCondition lock]; if([pollingCondition waitUntilDate: [NSDate dateWithTimeIntervalSinceNow:SLEEP]]) { [pollingCondition unlock]; } ... } I can't seem to find that indicated in the documentation though. http://developer.apple.com/DOCUMENTATION/Cocoa/Reference/NSCondition_class/Reference/Reference.html Also the documentation suggests that after calling [pollingCondition lock]; the contract is to have a lock for sure. cheers -- Torsten _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
