Killing a socket

I need to kill a socket without killing the process that
created it. Can I do this?

Here's the connection from netstat on the computer 'wolf':
tcp 0 0 wolf:57892 pup230:26754 ESTABLISHED

I know the connection is gone (pup230 is down).
If I can get Linux to realize this socket should be dead,
my process will properly handle the exception and continue on.

Thanks for any help.

Maybe you can write some codes in your process:
receive a signal, then close your socket fd.
So, when you send a signal to your process, the socket can be killed.

It's not my program.
It someone else wrote it.
