Yes, you are right => I do not want to kill my client process since I want to
test its ability to reconnect after a socket connection loss.

I know that I can shutdown the network interface but all the other people
connected on the same Unix workstation will not be really happy !

I suppose that the socket connection is flagged "active" or "inactive" somewhere
in the Kernel (this is the information we get with the "netstat" command) so
there should be a way to force the socket to close by writing something
somewhere in the Kernel.
