If you use your own protocol for the client-server application, then you can add in a functionality in both client and server side to perform "ping" when the client is idle.

For example: TELNET protocol has Are You There (AYT) command.

As explained by xander_tan, create some communication protocol to test your client server protocol.

thia is the only way....
