gnuserv/gnuclient for GNU Emacs 21.2.1 on Red Hat 9?

[D. D. Brierton]

I've just installed Red Hat 9 having been a long time Mandrake user.
Mandrake ship an RPM for gnuserv for GNU Emacs, but Red Hat 9 doesn't have
one. Any suggestions for where I might find one, or is there some new
feature in 21.2.1 that makes it obsolete?

TIA, Darren

Does it have emacsclient instead?

Ooh ... yes, it does:

    $ rpm -ql emacs | grep emacsclient
    /usr/bin/emacsclient
    /usr/share/emacs/21.2/etc/emacsclient.1

I'm unfamiliar with emacsclient - what does one have to put in ~/.emacs to
get it to work?

    $ emacsclient test.txt
    emacsclient: can't find socket; have you started the server?

(The above tried with an already running emacs.)

Best, Darren

Just put:

(server-start) 

or from an already running emacs: M-x server-start

Then you can use 'emacsclient' or, as I prefer, 'emacsclient
--nowait'. I don't seem to have a man page on it, but there is some info
on this somewhere in the emacs manual, if I remember correctly.

That did the trick! Wonderful!

Thanks, Darren

Only for clarification, the option is '--no-wait'.

I like to add also :

(add-hook 'server-switch-hook 'raise-frame)

So that the frame raises automatically when you invoke emacsclient.
