unix equivalent in C ???

[berky]

what is the unix equivalent to the system( "pause" ); call in windows while programming in C? and no, that same function call doesn't work.

that is all. thanks.

edit: also, this is while being logged into an oracle database. usleep() does not work once i connect either, so i have no idea what to do.

Here's what a friend of mine had to say:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
first, i hope you arent writing software that uses a lot of syscalls,
esp on multiuser systems where there isnt a great deal of trust -- but that (secure programming and styles) is not the point of this

from your wonderful UNIX command shell type

man sleep

for a good summary of this command

Hope this helps. Good luck!
