Checking if Connection is Still up (TCP)

[Mason]

Is there a way to check if a connection still exists...say my AutoIt client crashes, and I want my server to drop the connection if it doesn't exist anymore...I couldn't see any useful functions for this but...I could be missing something.

Maybe check if the process is still running using PROCESSEXISTS?

Ugh...mabe you misunderstood the problem.

I have a client/server in TCP. If the client/server crashes due to AutoIt error, or windows error, I want to let the other to know about it.

Yea...you try to receive data from it and if error is either 10054 or -1 then the connection is down...

so

while 1
$read=TCPRecv($socket,$buffer_length)
if @error=-1 OR @error=10054 then 
Msgbox(0,"","Socket is dead!")
ExitLoop
else
TrayTip("","Socket alive and well",10)
endif
wend
