TCP reconnect after program crash

[BPMan]

ok i have two executables (A and B) that have an tcp connection. Executables A must be killed often and this causes a problem with the tcp connection. Is there anyway to restart the executable A and have the connection be maintained. I cannot change executable B and i do not want to bring it down.

Can someone let me know if this is even possible????

I'm 99% sure this cannot be done. As soon as an application is killed, the connection die. If they don't, then they are generally unaccessible until reset.
