进程示例之四----闹铃

摘录python标准库：

import signal
import time




def receive_alarm(signum, stack):
    print 'Alarm:', time.ctime()


signal.signal(signal.SIGALRM, receive_alarm)
signal.alarm(2)


print 'Before:', time.ctime()
time.sleep(4)
print 'After:', time.ctime()

sleep不会完整持续4秒，运行结果：

[root@jenkins chap10]# python signal_alarm.py
Before: Thu Jan  1 16:40:58 2015
Alarm: Thu Jan  1 16:41:00 2015
After: Thu Jan  1 16:41:00 2015
