    Hi Marc,

    The launched application forks and the father runs URXVT with an emulator 
embeded (named emu_H303p) and the son executes XTERM running a simple 
terminal (VT52). emu_H303p and VT52 are comunicating together by mean of two 
pipes. The code I put in the original mail is related to the communication 
between them. Note that I did not know that it was possible to exchange 
through pipes with help of signals, I just discovered that having a look at 
the source files of urxvt. Anyway, this is not the subject.

    What I would like is that emu_H303p to regularly run (every 1 or 10 ms ?) 
an routine (probably a signal handler).

    You are right : I miss competence. I realized that having that look at the 
source files of urxvt. Do you know a forum that could help me ?

    Thank you for the help.
