ABSTRACT The !"# operatin$ system trades upon the labels of security and

reliability. %hile the best possible security is availed throu$h the &ile 'ana$ement System( trademarks such as the proxy)server and the alternate sever is responsible for its reliability thus makin$ !"# has so far the dominant operatin$ system of

the emer$in$ era. *ur focus on the implementation of an +lternate Sever. The Client is the process that re,uests service from a remote process known as the Server which sends back the reply to the client. "n case the Server crashes then there lies a breakdown in the entire system left with the client unable to communicate. This can be indicated by sendin$ si$nals. The main server $ets detached and the si$nals are also stopped. To avoid such a crisis we $o for a -ackup)Server which maintains the connection status of the Client and is updated then to then such that the connection may be resume with the +lternate Server actin$ as the 'ain)Server. The clients are connected automatically to the alternate server by sendin$ the si$nals. The alternate server is the second client of the main server. The information that is maintained by the main server is updated to the alternate server. The updation is carried out by the constant time intervals. The alternate server assumes that the main server crashes and the alternate server take part of the communication process.
