Is this homework? Looks like that to me...
You will have to take care of this in your programming. Will your client use the 'connect' system call to connect to the server? In that case, if no reply is received from the remote end, you will get -1 returned and errno variable set to some value. This value will change from OS to OS.
Check the man page of connect on your system to know what will be set. Then if the error is that the socket has timed out, then, your code can sleep for a bit and then try again.

Friends,
Could anyone let me know - how to set the timeout value for ssh session to HMC? My HMC version is -- V7R7.4.0. I'm sure the version doesn't have anything to do with it.
Thanks,
