[En-Nut-Discussion] Restart secific thread

[Petr Odlozil]

I was thinking how to restart a thread externally. For example when I 
detect that the thread hangs. I experienced some so far inexplicible 
hang of a thread on NutAccept()..
I am able to detect it by timer. The solution is to restart whole 
system, but other threads are running fine and there is someting in 
Memory I don't want to loose with complete restart.

I mean someting like NutThreadExit()

Best Regards

Petr
