I have following setup in a script, and I start script by clicking
with mouse on an icon. If server has started, it runs emacsclient,
otherwise it starts server, waits 10 seconds and open emacsclient.

#!/bin/bash
export EMACS_SOCKET_NAME="/run/user/1001/emacs/server"
if pgrep -f "emacs --bg-daemon" > /dev/null
then
    espeak "Starting Emacs client"
    emacsclient -c
else
    espeak "Starting Emacs daemon"
    emacs --bg-daemon
    sleep 10
    emacsclient -c
fi
