I have a Cocoa thread waiting on events in a run loop. But I want to be able to give the waiting thread a "kick" to make it wake up and re-load its context.

I realise I could write my own custom run loop input source, but it seems like overkill if I could install a simple run loop observer and somehow just wake it up when I want it to re-initialize. Is there a way to do that?

You don't have to write a custom run-loop source. Just add an NSPort instance as a source and message it for the "kick".


Cheers,
Ken
