Subject: Async processes to be persistent even after exiting Emacs
Date: Thu, 22 Apr 2021 16:01:42 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20210422200141.2hyv2crygvhac5zd@E15-2016.optimum.net> (raw)
The standard built-in method that Emacs uses to spawn an asynchronous
processes doesn't enable those processes to survive the killing of their
process buffers, and certainly not to survive exiting emacs.
I've posted[1] a commit demonstrating a flexible method to optionally
circumvent those limitations. My use-case is my desire to be able to use
dired to open a file in an operating system's default external program
(ala xdg-open), and have that process persist even after exiting Emacs.
