I have a simple server-client model with a TCP stream connection on the internet domain. Both the server and client read from and write to the other synchronously. If the server or the client terminates unexpectedly (terminal interrupt etc.), how can the other sense this and return to its regular processing loop (ignoring read/write to the sock) instead of terminating (due to a SIGPIPE signal). Please reply by e-mail to muru@iris.brown.edu Thanks.

Or you could dodge the issue until you get a SIGPIPE. ---Dan
