different sessions into one

different sessions into one

[Johan Meskens CS3 jmcs3]

hello


i have a session of emacs open:
jmcs3@interlichtspielhaus:~$ emacs

now
  if i do:
jmcs3@interlichtspielhaus:~$ ps aux | emacs &

  , a second session of emacs will open

the same goes for when i call emacs from within perl scripts
  , each time new emacs sessions will open

how can i force the opening of buffers within the first emacs session ?

thanks
jmcs3

See server-start and the little utility emacscslient. When you define 
an environment variable EDITOR that contains emacsclient a few commands 
will send Emacs text to edit. Leaving/Closing an emacsclient buffer 
might be a bit inconvenient ...

'ps aux' you can do to in a shell inside Emacs too ...

You have to use emacsserver/client or gnuserv/client. But unfortunately 
at least with gnuserv I do not believe that you can pipe the content 
directly to gnuclient.

A workaround is of course making a small program that saves the output 
to a temporary file and then calls emaclient or gnuclient on that. Maybe 
there should be such a program in the Emacs distribution?

yes thank you
  , that works perfectly

  - sorry about that reply off-list - the list doesnt seem to answer to 
the list by default
