I’d like to be able to call footclient without asking me if a server already runs, and without a systemd service (and of course without the “failed to connect (is 'foot --server' running?)" error!),
that is, no autostart of foot --server, but it’s the first footclient invocation that will start a server (whose subsequent footclients will join).
Everything I read around my need (notably an interesting exploration of features, perf and stability, or the discussions about integrating a systemd service into foot)
revolves around starting a daemon at session launch (generally via systemd, but I’m on FreeBSD).
There’s still the possibility of a wrapper script (footclient || case $? in 220) foot --server && footclient ;; esac),
but I would be suprised that such an “obvious” usage is not already integrated into Foot.
