Hmm, it this "wait 20 seconds, then try" or is it "try and time out if you didn't get through within 20 seconds" ? If it's the former, and what you're really concerned about is socket creation, perhaps the following device would work: - add a --background option - in main, create the socket, then fork if background is set - detach the foreground process That way, you're guaranteed to have a socket you can open once the (foreground half of the) program has terminated. - Werner
