Subject: Scheduling alarms

Hi

I'm trying to find out how to schedule alarms in ruby, as in the alarm(2)
function on Unix.

Google found a post by Dave Thomas from 2001 [ruby-talk:16527] which
sugests the use of a thread to schedule the alarm. Is this still the
prefered  way to do this?

Thanks
Andre
