I am calling select with 1 second timeout since I need to quite application
on user request. I cannot have a large timeout since then user has to wait
for that much time to quit. Basically I have main thread for UI and this
select is in another thread. if I have a timeout of 1 min and the select
call is waiting, then if user requests to quit the application then it
hangs. So to over come this, i reduced timeout to 1 second and calling this
in a loop 60 times. Also I am aborting the loop if someone has pressed quit
on main thread.

So I wanted to know if its same to have 1min timeout and to have 1sec
timeout for 60 times.
