signals?

I have a server that listens to sockets and processes stuff
as a result of the message.  I am using read, write, connect, accept...
I want to send the server an urgent message from within a client
application.  I want the server to stop what it is doing, handle
the request and continue (interrupt-ish).

Does anyone have any suggestions as how to best approach this problem?
I think I want to set a signal on incoming socket messages?
