Regarding SERVER program in HP-UX

[Shivakumar_3]

Hello Everybody,
I am writing a server program in HP-UX server.I have to write the server program in such a way that it connects to several clients(6-7).What exactly the server program should do is if it connects to one client it will receive packets and send acknowledgement.If another client requests to server it should create the socket and carry on the same process with both the clients simultaneously and so on.Please help me out because i am new to socket communication.Thanks in advance.

Shiv, Try to use perl. Server programming in perl is easy to write.

Yes. You have to enrich yourself on socket programming.

Yes, It is possible. Just think about a webserver running and many clients request a page. Is your scenario similar to that ??
