Auto-start dcd-serer? #20

Closed miguelmartin75 closed 9 years ago

Why doens't this plugin automatically start dcd-server if it's not running? Unless it does, however it does not for me.

Unless I change the VimProc requirement from optional to mandatory, I can't run dcd-server as a subprocess. This means that I won't be able to automatically close it once the user closes Vim. I don't want to spawn such daemon behind the user's back - as long as I don't completely control the process from the plugin I believe the user should be the one to decide when to start/stop it.

I do, however, provide helpers - the :DUDCDstartServer, :DUDCDstopServer and :DUDCDrestartServer can be used to easily control dcd-server from Vim. So even if I don't start it automatically for you, you can easily start it yourself.
