Close the daemon along with the curses client

[langner]

As in the title, is there currently an option to shut down the daemon automatically together with the client?

[themoken]

I think you can already achieve this with a keybind:

:bind q remote kill & quit

[langner]

Oh well... I could set it, (and there needs to be a backslash before the ampersand), but it does'nt kill the daemon for some reason. Any idea?

[themoken]

Looks like the message never makes it to the daemon because the connection closes too quickly. I'm not sure if this should be remedied with a wait 5 or something, or if this should be handled externally (i.e. canto-curses && canto-remote kill to invoke canto which does work)

[langner]

Right... I do achieve this currently externally, with this little script:

canto-daemon & canto-curses
kill `jobs -p`

Perhaps using canto-remote kill would be better, though. Maybe you could also add a little boolean option to make sure the daemon is killed before exit?

[themoken]

In git I've added

:kill_daemon_on_exit = (True|False)

to enable this functionality.

EDIT: In canto-curses of course
