So: emacs FILE --eval "(goto-char (point-max))" In situations like these it is common to say that it is better to keep Emacs up all the time and open files from, not with, Emacs. So, let me tell you that it is better to keep Emacs up all the time and open files from, not with, Emacs. :) -- underground experts united
