        Waiting on select system call....
        Shutting down the test manager!

[2]  The second problem occurs when i do a sendto 2 or more times in this server
program. This time also I run only  the server and do not run the
destination/clients programs. The point to note here is that i get a Connection
Refused error  every second time i do a sendto! The first time the message is
sent correctly to the client , the second time i get Connection Refused error ,
third time the message is sent correctly to the client, and so on.
(I have commented the second sendto  before select . To try problem no. 2 you
can remove the comments and run it)
     a) Why am i not getting a connection refused error consistently every time
i do a sendto?
     b) Why at all am i getting a connection refused error in UDP  in the first
place??
     c) When i try the above thing on SunOS, the message is sent from the server
correctly every time, even though the client processes are not alive and i do
not get any error!!!


The output  on running the above program(remove the comments from the second
sendto before select)   is as follows:

[npunmia@msatpd1 tm1]$ ./a.out
        In Test Manager main function !
        Signal Handler installed!
        Message sent to MRS!
        Error in send to MRS
Error: Connection refused
