emacs -eval '(compile "sh gpaction")' # doesn't plot, but returns
M-x compile kills the whole process group when the compiler exits.
This is because it needs to deallocate the pty. In situations like
this, the result is undesirable, but I don't see what change we could
reasonably make.,
emacs -eval '(shell-command "sh gpaction")' # plots, but then hangs
This uses call-process. I think that waits until the output pipe
returns EOF, which I think requires it to get closed by all writers.
This might be a bug, but I am not sure it is a bug.
If gnuplot were to give the subprocess a different standard output
descriptor, Emacs would not wait for it to terminate.
