How to stop nsthread

Question

I am using a thread to update messages in the background in my application. The thread starts in my message class.

Messages .m

timerThread = [[NSThread alloc] initWithTarget:self
                selector:@selector(startTimerThread:) object:nil]; 
[timerThread start];

Now I want the thread to stop when the user writes out the application. For this, in the signout method (in another class), I added

Messages *msg=[[Messages alloc]init];  
[msg.timerThread cancel];  
[msg release];  

But even after exiting the application, the thread still works.

[NSThread exit];

You have tested this method of the NSThread class.
