do you mix up with nanosleep() (http://linux.die.net/man/3/usleep)? so, if I right, I have settled the sleep time at 0.1s (jwm uses the frequency of the microprocessor to set the sleep time). When I wrote this I expected to get something who works. I will try with select() or poll() as you suggested, it sound better.
thx,
