Add a silent option #9

We can use 'powerline-daemon -s' in files like .bashrc to start daemon automatically.

Do you really want the overhead of starting the python interpreter and then checking for a running daemon every time you launch an interactive shell?

Why not just add some code to launch the daemon to your env statrup scripts -- the same scripts sued to launch the gpg and ssh agents?

What file do you mean in Linux?

kovidgoyal commented 10 years ago

It depends on your distro and desktop environment. For example, with KDE on Gentoo it is /etc/kde/startup/agent-startup.sh.

If you are using a plain X session, it is ~/.xinitrc or ~/.startx or so on. Just grep /etc and your home directory for ssh-agent

I see. However, I still think this silent option makes it complete :)
