Should `server-force-delete' also stop the server process?

Should `server-force-delete' also stop the server process?

[Leo]

Hello,

When running the server through tcp and run server-force-delete, only
the server-file is deleted, the network process continue to listen on
a tcp port. I wonder if this is the intended behaviour.

Thanks.

The docstring says:

  server-force-delete is an interactive compiled Lisp function in `server.el'.

  (server-force-delete &optional NAME)

  Unconditionally delete connection file for server NAME.
  If server is running, it is first stopped.
  NAME defaults to `server-name'.  With argument, ask for NAME.

so it should stop the process. Do you have a recipe where it doesn't?
(If so, please file a bug report.)

BTW, why not use a name like `server-stop' vs `server-start'? I have
found myself trying M-x server-stop before remembering it is
server-force-delete.

  (server-start t)  ; t == LEAVE-DEAD

or

  (server-mode -1)

should suffice.

server-force-delete is not server-stop. Read the docstrings for it and
server-start.
