Abstract
In a client server system including a server machine including a network device and a plurality of client machines each including a network machine, the server machine includes a unit to send shutdown information indicating the shutdown state thereof and restoration information to the client machines and each client machine includes a control logic operative at reception of shutdown information from the server machine to conduct an attempt for line connection to the server machine at a desired interval of time. As a result, at restoration of the server machine from the shutdown state, the state of connection to each client machine is automatically achieved from the client side. Accordingly, at shut-down of the server machine, the logical line connection can be reconstructed without any intervention of the user of each client machine.
