Thanks for your response .
for example my client program have installed in 100 machines , all these client machines are connected to server , due to some problem some of the client machines are not connected with server while running , how do you I know what are the client machines not connected with server also I want to count the number of machines connected with server .

Riyas, please don't quote your own posts. That isn't what the quoting feature is for and it just makes it confusing for everybody else. I've edited your posts to unquote them.

As for your question (or at least one version of it): Use an int variable. When a client connects to your server, increment that variable. When a client disconnects, decrement it.
