That somebody doesn't have access to hpux/solaris to debug the problem. 
Anybody to help me here.

Now that you've disable the SIGCHLD if something goes wrong, user will 
have to wait for 60 secs before will be dropped to the shell.
Hmm, how about this approach:

change SIGCHLD to ping the server before checking the status? May not 
work properly on slower machines.
