For anyone interested, I have a crude implementation of a secret key concept which was the outcome of my earlier discussion on the mailing list. I can send the small lisp code I wrote which creates a new emacs server (lisp) and a lisp client code which can be excuted by emacs in batch mode (not a good solution though but just a proof of concept).
