Subject: exec-path not changed in autostart
Date: Fri, 19 Dec 2014 13:09:19 -0800 (PST)	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <30a3109d-f2c6-4001-a761-8322133b4892@googlegroups.com> (raw)

Hi,
I use the following code to add the paths from the shell environment to exec-path:

(setq exec-path
      (append
       (split-string-and-unquote (getenv "PATH") ":")
       exec-path))

However, it does not work when "emacs24 --daemon" runs as a system autostart script. The interesting thing is that if I run "emacs24 --daemon" manually, the above code does work and the paths are successfully added.

I am really confused. Can anyone see why this happens?

I am running openbox on debian wheezy.
