How do I tell emacsclient that my server is not emacs but emacs- snapshot-gtk ? 2. How do I tell emacsclient (to tell the server...) not to read a file but to run a command (say remember) Note in my attempts so far it barfs at the -e option though the man page shows it. It accepts and ignores the -a or ALTERNATE_EDITOR settings
