Do you mean the source code of the external program?<br>

Yes<br>

Could you be more specific about this situation? In what
occasions will this happen?<br>
<br>
My external program is a python script that uses <a
moz-do-not-send="true"
href="https://pypi.python.org/pypi/erlport">
erlport</a> to communicate with erlang.<br>
</blockquote>
<br>
erlport should be getting EPIPE in the source code
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://github.com/hdima/erlport/blob/master/priv/python2/erlport/erlproto.py#L106-L110">https://github.com/hdima/erlport/blob/master/priv/python2/erlport/erlproto.py#L106-L110</a>
. However, that depends on the write function getting called to
discover the Erlang VM disappeared.<br>
