Servers don't know which clients are (unintentionally) disconnected, i.e. my laptop might be disconnected from your servers, but do you (or I) care about that situation. When clients reconnect there are several reasons for it to fail reintegrations, loss of tokens, reintegration conflict, etc. One of the Coda PhD students had developed a tcl/tk based GUI application which `helps' people through disconnections and reconnections. It also gave some traffic light like signals of available server-connectivity (strong/weak/disconnected). However the code has aged and would need a complete rewrite. Currently the only methods seem to be, checking /usr/coda/etc/console for messages like; 17:57:46 cur (7f000524.161.3322) inconsistent! or using `cfs lv <path/to/volume>', to check whether a volume still has pending reintegrations or conflicts.
