I mean something like this:
(start-process
"quickstartserver" " *quickstartserver*"
(expand-file-name invocation-name invocation-directory)
"--daemon=quickstart-refresher")
(start-process
"quickstartclient" " *quickstartclient*"
"emacsclient"
"--socket-name=quickstart-refresher"
"--eval "
"'(progn (require 'package) (package-quickstart-refresh) (kill-emacs))'")
I am not sure how do I pass eval argument to cient in
start-process. When I run above start process for server it runs, and I
can run belov progn to generate quickstart file and kill emacs from
terminal. But when I start client with start-process it does not seem to
run. I guess I am not getting arguments correctly, but that is the
idea. Sure less efficient then with --batch, but I don't think it
matters; it is run once in a while in async process.
