Not sure what you meant by update vim 'remotely'?

About 50% of the time, the problem I am seeing is that vim will
update as soon as it sees the 1st change, but since it's the output of
of a makefile, it isn't done yet -- and vim won't autoupdate
so I can see the final changes.

Lately I'm nearly giving up on on vim being able to
monitor the latest state of a file and just manually
refreshing it with 'e'.... That's a pain because 'w'
is right next to it... but it's a short rebuild, fortunately.

I think I'd end up with similar problems if I used any sort of
monitoring protocol -- as it will detect early changes -- but
might not detect an update at file close (?)....

Thanks for the suggestions...
