It has been a long time since I used QNX, however what follows applies to all kernels and operating systems AFAIK:
- cancelling a thread often is unreliable; in general you don't know what state the thread and its data is in when you issue the cancel command, so you could end up with inconsistent data, with locked resources, etc.
- the better approach is "cooperative termination", where the thread's code helps in the thread either keeping active or exiting regularly.

So what I prefer to do in a monitoring thread typically looks like this (pseudo-code):
while(!enough) {
    do whatever is needed for monitoring
    wait a while
}

and when the caller wants it to terminate, just have it set the global boolean "enough" to true, the monitoring thread will exit (although not immediately, but that most often is OK).

Smile | :)
