Re: way to force vim to do a read (already in 'autoread')

Granted, this is not an optimal solution. But I was saying you could do
something like:

# Starting vim
vim --servername a example.txt
# Starting entr
find . -name "*.txt" | entr -c vim --servername a --remote-send ":bufdo e<cr>"
# Test it
echo "file changed!" > example.txt
