Abstract
A facility is provided for managing a service connection between a client process having a single threaded library and a server process. The facility includes monitoring activity of a client code of the client process by the client library, and commensurate therewith monitoring activity of the client library across a service connection to the server process, wherein activity of the client library on the service connection is indicative of activity of the client code. The service connection between the client process and the server process is terminated if a message is not received at the server process from the single threaded client library within a defined tolerance interval. Upon termination of the service connection, any locked client resource is recovered at the server process.
