Ah, very interesting. Why not use something like the write command? Or are you using gvim? Or is it just a matter of finding the right tty? Could you be a bit more specific regarding how you set this up? The functionality you describe is more akin to messaging than editing, and I don't see how 'vim --servername xxx --remote', e.g. could do that. In other words, without knowing the details, it sounds rather heavy-handed if all you need it to be informed of the termination of a process. As to the glitches I mentioned, they seem to occur mostly when the client uses the 'non-wait' options. As mentioned in my initial post, they appear randomly, and most of the time one or more retries gets things to work again. I'm running debian lenny, and that ships Vim 7.1, in case it matters.
