[Tinyos-help] End of a TOSThread

[Antonio]

Yes, I need a Thread.join()!!!
I tried your solution, but it doesn't works. 
In my application I have a Timer. When it fires I start a Thread and in the
same Timer.fired() event I wait for the end of the Thread.
Maybe is it impossible to do?

Thanks a lot,
Antonio

It sounds like we need a Thread.join()...

One way to do this is with a condition variable. I.e., the new thread  
sets a variable to 1 just before it exits and signals a condition;  
the waiting thread is waiting on the condition variable, checking if  
the variable is 1.
