[PATCH 3/4] lockfile: convert retry timeout computations to millisecond

From
Johannes Sixt <j6t@kdbg.org>
Date

Message-ID
<e47ba0d3c1ba83b50d2d241047863b2ba7b7341b.1433532968.git.j6t@kdbg.org>
In-Reply-To
<55700F10.8030806@kdbg.org>

When the goal is to wait for some random amount of time up to one second, it is not necessary to compute with microsecond precision. This is a preparation to re-use sleep_millisec().
