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.

roar_stream_connect_to
roar_stream_connect_to(3) System Manager's Manual: RoarAudio roar_stream_connect_to(3)
NAME
roar_stream_connect_to - Connects a stream to some listening socket
SYNOPSIS
#include <roaraudio.h>
int roar_stream_connect_to(struct roar_connection * con, struct roar_stream * s, int type, char * host, int port);
DESCRIPTION
This let the sound server connect to some remote end to get it's data for a stream. This is used internaly to open additional streams for
roar_simple_new_stream(3).
NOTE: This is not an alternative version of roar_stream_connect(3). You still need to connect the stream to the server via roar_stream_con-
nect(3) before you can use this call.
PARAMETERS
con The connection to the server.
s The stream to connect.
type, host, port
Where the stream should be connected to. For a description of all these parameters see roar_socket_listen(3).
NOTES
This call will block untill the server process to connect to has accepted the connection. This makes this call unusable to connect back to
us if we are not threaded. For a nonblocking call see roar_stream_connect_to_ask(3).
RETURN VALUE
On success these calls return 0. On error, -1 is returned.
EXAMPLES
FIXME
SEE ALSO
roar_simple_new_stream(3), roar_stream_connect(3), roar_socket_listen(3), libroar(7), RoarAudio(7).
