If I leave emacs up in my office with many unsaved buffers, I'd like to log in from home and do "kill -something " and have it save all buffers unconditionally and exit. I know that I can just kill the emacs and reconstruct things from autosave files, but I operate with *many* active buffers and this gets to be quite difficult and error prone. -- George
