Hello group,
I'm looking for an equivalent to the posix system call pause for CMUCL.
like pause the function should wait until a signal wakes it up.
I tried to put that question on the cmucl mailing list, but their mail 
server sends me an 'user unknown' reply.

thanks for your help

You can easily call any C function with the ALIEN package.
One trick is that the types are defined in teh C-CALL package:

(alien:alien-funcall (alien:extern-alien "pause" (function c-call:int)))

I hear that cons.org (and the whole ISP?) is under a DOS attack.  I
think it's being worked on.
