Storm" : > Is emacsserver started automatically or does the user have to start : > emacsserver from .emacs (or another init file)? : : You must start the server with (server-start) in .emacs. Thanks. Is not this a bit fragile? One of the problems I had in the beginning when I started to use Emacs was errors in startup files that prevented gnuserv from starting. That made it a bit more difficult to fix the problems than it should have been. Is there any reason that emacsserver is not started automatically when called by emacsclient? If you call with the client you probably want the server to connect to the server, or? There could still be possibilities for options when starting the server. A lisp file in site-lisp could for example be called. I just made a slight rewrite of gnuclient to test such a solution and I found it hard to see any drawbacks with it. But our total creativity is of course much bigger ;-) - Lennart
