Connection Timer On Linux

[The Gate Keeper]

hmm... from memory, vincula used noop command (basically its suppose to stand for no operation), but a server didn't have that, so it would come back with a "noop command invalid".

 

you could replicate this idea?

 

to do this, have a timer which sent "noop" to the server. when sending noop, set another timer which would be similar to a reconnect or something. and if the noop isn't responded to within say 15 seconds, you can predict you are disconnected from the server, and allow the 2nd timer to continue. if it did receive something back, then you would cancel the second timer.
