Hi,

I'm sorry in my previous email I made an error.

If I use

clock_gettime      ( TIMER_ABSTIME, &now);
now.tv_nsec=now.tv_nsec+PERIOD;
out=pthread_make_periodic_np (pthread_self(), &now,&period);
......

it always says that "the start time has already passed\n". Differently 
if I use

clock_gettime      ( CLOCK_REALTIME, &now);
        now.tv_nsec=now.tv_nsec+PERIOD;
        out=pthread_make_periodic_np (pthread_self(), &now,&period);

  everything works fine.
