I have a client program that performs a recv() on a blocking socket. The program catches SIGPIPEs and exits. When the server computer crashes the client hangs on the recv() call. It continues to do so even after the server computer comes back up. When the server computer shuts down nicely, or the server program is stopped or killed, this is not a problem. Is this standard behavior? If yes, how to I hack it so the recv() call times out? Perhaps I should mention that this connection typically carries 6-7 MB/s on a 100Mb connection. No data in >10 sec is an almost certain sign of a dead server. Thanks for any help -Frank - : send the line "unsubscribe linux-net" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
