[erlang-questions] gen_server:call/2 exceptions?

[Robert Virding]

Again IIRC it the gen_server:call itself which generates an exception when it detects that the server has dies. If so just doing 

catch gen_server:call (...) 

will stop the calling process from crashing. You will then need a case to check if you got a reply or the server died.
