>> I'm trying to find a way to support ViM in WatchTower, a project of mine to track spent time per project per file, and to do that I have to know which documents are currently open in all ViM processes, so is there a way (or a plugin) that can provide me with absolute paths to all open documents in all buffers ?

Actually I won't be needing a time-tracking plugin, because that's what WatchTower is all about, I would just like to add support for ViM and to do that all I need is open file list (or buffer lists)

I checked a bit around and I can communicate very easy with a Gvim/MacVim but I couldn't communicate with a ViM sessions, I guess ViM from terminal should be invoked as a server in order to communicate with it (but you already mentioned that :)), Would you have a command in mind to just get the buffer list from one server? I was able to get the server list (using mvim --serverlist) so I'm thinking that I should iterate over the servers and issue the command to get a list of open files.
Thank Marc
