(I'm going through old bug reports that unfortunately weren't resolved at the time.) In my opinion, I think it would be too niche to add a special mechanism for this. You can use --eval '(setq something-to-react-to t)' --script ... if you want to have different things happening in this case. So I'm closing this bug report. -- (domestic pets only, the antidote for overdose, milk.) bloggy blog: http://lars.ingebrigtsen.no
