Hi,

Thank you for the answer. Here are some points:

MathLM is running on a server and I run 20 kernels on different
computers. I cannot log into the server, because I am just a user.

I know, that mathlm crashes from time to time and I think, there is
nothing, I can change about that. It is not a connection issue, because
those computers are linked directly by GB-Ethernet.

My problem is a different one:
If the connection to MathLM is lost, then normally your kernel asks you
if it should retry the server by a dialog box.
I link all those kernels to a local kernel via mathlink and give
commands via LinkWrite.
My problem is, that if the connection is lost, I get via LinkRead this 
MenuPacket[2, Lost connection to server> ]
and I would think, that I have to do a LinkWrite[theLink,"retry"] to
tell the kernel, he should reconnect to MathLM.
However, this does not work. Everytime I send a "retry" or "r" to the
Kernel, I get back a new 
MenuPacket[2, Lost connection to server> ]
