usleep(1000) is not working

[Gajananh999]

Hello Everyone,

My process was using 90% cpu so i have used usleep(1000).

but after using this also nothing is happening my process is using same cpu.

Please need a help for this.

The parameter to usleep() is in microseconds (hence the u: a convenient way to write the Greek letter mu). Thus, usleep(1000) yields for 1 millisecond.

Hey Helios,

I have given usleep(10000) means (100 millisecond) but also my service is taking to 70 to 80 CPU

10000 microseconds is 10 milliseconds.

That's impossible to answer without some kind of context.

Write a more efficient program maybe?
