UniData 8.2.4
Linux and HPUX 11

Years ago, back when we were on UniData 6 or 7, we figured out a way to wake up a udt process that was in the SLEEP command by using signal SIGALRM.  We did not use this programmatically.  If we needed one process to wake another we would use PAUSE/WAKE.  However, there were occasions where a process was using SLEEP and we wanted it to move along, so we would send it a SIGALRM signal manually.   Now that we are on UniData 8.2.4, SIGALRM no longer wakes up a SLEEP.  Does anyone have another way to wake up a SLEEPing process before the end of it's scheduled sleep time?
