[REQUEST] `close-daemonized-session` command

[VKondakoff]

Feature

Hi!

daemonize-session is a great addition, but I think there is a need to introduce a command for the opposite - close the specified daemonized session.

Usecase

Here is a scenario: I launch several Kakoune instances without any command line options, then I use the daemonize-session command in one of the instances. Now how can I kill the server (for example, to reload the config files)? As there were no command line options they all looks the same in ps output:

How can I decide wich of the sessions to kill? So, I think there should be a Kakoune command to exit the specified server.

Now how can I kill the server

echo kill | kak -p session_name

Ah, that was easy. Silly me! Thank you, closing the FR.

In the default configuration of Kakoune, in the bottom right of the window it will say something like "client0@[1228735]`, which is the expansion of "%val{client}@[%val{session}]".

So if you can see a client connected to the session you want to shut down, you can get the session name... or you can just type :kill<ret> in that client.

Yes, thank you. This is the first time I have heard about kill command. ;(

Here are the docs:

kill[!] [<exit status>]
terminate the current session, all the clients as well as the server. If specified, the server and clients exit status will be set to <exit status>
