Hi,



Is there a function similar to C's usleep in R? 


         usleep(10000);


from the man pages:


The usleep() function will cause the calling thread to be suspended from


execution until either the number of real-time microseconds specified by


the argument  useconds has elapsed or a signal is delivered to the


calling thread and its action is to invoke a signal-catching function or


to terminate the process. The


suspension time may be longer than requested due to the scheduling of


other activity by the system. 



I do not want to dyn.load usleep for portability reasons. Calling sth.


like a system("sleep 1")


is not an option.



Thanks,


        Armin
