Dan Bechard suggest using a unix signal to do it - that makes a lot
more sense. There is still one problem that needs thinking about -
when you shell out to initiate the timer, you do a context switch, as this
is a simple stack, the switch should not use too much cpu so the impact
should be quite small.
