How can I configure emacs-daemon to kill itself when I shut down my computer

How can I configure emacs-daemon to kill itself when I shut down my computer

[hap 497]

Hi,

I am using emacs 23.1 on ubuntu 9.10.
And I always use emacs-client to open a file and it will creates a
emacs -daemon when needed.
My problem is everything I shut down my ubuntu environment, it asks me
if I want to kill emacs damon. And I have to manually click 'Close' in
order for the shut down to continue.

Is there anyway to automatic this?

Thank you.

You want to start the daemon on login rather than via emacsclient. I'm
not using ubuntu but IIRC this can be done under
System/Preferences/Customize Session, or something like that, where
you can add 'emacs --daemon' to the list of programs to start after
logging in.

I think that's not what the OP meant. I also haven't found a way to do
this, so I just do an 'M-x kill-emacs' in one of the open frames. This
closes all other frames as well as the deamon, and I'm ready to shut the
system down.

Greetings,

Sven

Hey,

maybe this could help you?
http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-desktop-74/gnome-run-script-on-logout-724453/

Someone wrote a python script that executes a script on logout. Maybe you
could use this in order to run a killall on your daemon process...

Cheers
Bastian

I tried this. It does start the emacs daemon. But when I exit ubuntu,
it still said 'there is a emacs daemon running do you want to shut it
down' dialog pops up. And i would like to get rid to that dialog
everytime I log out.

Thank you.

I think this is a bug (Don't know whether with Gnome/Emacs ? ). The
desktop treats the daemon as a regular program which it should not. I
have a hunch Emacs maybe at fault because similar problems happen
across various desktops (Gnome/KDE/XFCE). For example with XFCE if I
start the `emacs --daemon' in a particular session, logging out from
that session takes ages. Subsequent login or logouts are normal
however. For now I have resorted to using `M-x kill-emacs' just as
Sven mentioned in another reply.
