Well, that's a good question. Maybe there is something obvious I don't know. I've been debugging and re-factoring my init files and so I need to end Emacs to test the initialization. But, as I said, I usually am working through emacsclient. When I do C-x C-c it only ends emacsclient, not the whole Emacs instance. So I end up doing M-x kill-emacs. Is there a better way? (By the way, I figured out that `file-exists-p' returns nil for a symlink to a nonexistent target, so problem solved.)
