ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus for monitoring a process to determine when an abnormal process exit occurs comprising monitoring events related to the process and detecting a communication connection closing without receiving a notification of an exit event for the process. On detection of an abnormal exit of a process associated with the communication connection, the method and apparatus provide special failover processing including, for example, a TCP connection failover process.
