I was trying to play with vim server instances and noticed when I SSH into my work box I can never see the names of the server - so I can't send signals to them
as you will see, if I create a server instance locally and then exit to the shell I can list out (and see) whats available. But if I SSH into work, then I can't do the same thing? I also tried this process starting from work to my house but got the same results.
My end goal is to be able to remotely close some vim sessions I have open b/c my RDP keeps flaking out
