You probably want to read about "setsockopt". In particular, the SO_REUSEADDR function.
Install a signal handler to catch the SIGPIPE and do what you want. See "sigaction" and other signal man pages. jim ---------- From: Won-Ho Kye[SMTP:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, April 02, 1998 11:34 PM To: 'debian-user@lists.debian.org' Cc: The recipient's address is unknown.
