What is the best way to call a function inside a Linux daemon at specific time intervals, and specific time (e.g. at 12am every day, call this function). I’m not referring to calling a process with crontab, but a function within a long running daemon.
Thanks
use settimer with ITIMER_REAL and have your function be called by the handler for SIGALARM.
