Make sure Emacs server is running and use the following command: $ emacsclient -e '(save-some-buffers t)' -- Happy Hacking. http://sphinx.net.ru む ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 4+ messages in thread

Read about sigusr1 and sigusr2 events in the "Misc Events" node of the ELisp manual. You will need to write some Lisp in your ~/.emacs to bind these events to some function that calls save-some-buffers or some such. If worse comes to worst, you can always send SIGTERM to Emacs: Emacs always auto-saves before it terminates in an abnormal fashion. ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 4+ messages in thread
