		Hi Admin,
Ok so with a slight modification its now working, see the revised code below. Question in terms of error handling for the connection will this be sufficient for this client script to reconnect if for whatever reason the connection is lost?
Thanks,
Roger

Code:
if not skt then
  skt = socket.tcp()
  skt:settimeout(5)
  skt:connect('192.168.0.11', 2601)
  skt, err = ssl.wrap(skt,'tlsv1')
  if not err then
    skt:dohandshake()
    skt = copas.wrap(skt)
    copas.addthread(function()
        while true do
          local resp,err = copas.receive(skt)
          -- if theres no connection start a new connection
          if not resp or err ~=nil then
            alert("[elk-client] Receive error: %s", err)
            copas.removeserver(skt)
            skt = nil
            break
          end
          if(string.find(resp,'^16XK')==nil)then
            local fd,prtd = pcall(parse,resp)
            if(fd==false)then
              alert("[elk-client] Error with parsemsg %s ",prtd)
            end
          else
            alert('[elk-client] time message: %s', resp)
          end
        end
      end)
  else               
    alert("[elk-client] connection error: %s", err)
    skt = nil
    return
  end
end
