Hi,

I'd like to automate an ediff process for a post run test analysis.
Apparently with -f command line argument you can pass only functions 
without arguments.

ediff-files requires arguments and  it will fail when trying to do:
  $ emacs -f ediff-files "file1" "file2"

I could do: $ emacs "file1" "file2" and then issue the command M-x 
ediff-buffers  and followed by 2 other key strokes, but this is not much 
of an automation.

Any help/ideea would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Bogdan
