Hello,

I'm working on socket client/server apps where the client app starts the 
connection on a separate pthread and then sits in a loop to send messages.

The problem I'm having is finding how to kill the client app when the 
server dies. If I use telnet has the client, he does exit.

So, in pseudo-code ...

start_client() //starts client connection on another thread

while(!quit && connected) {
	
   message = get_user_message

   //this blocks
   reply = send_message_to_server(message)

   print(reply)
		
}

  ...

What is the usual method to know the server is still alive?
