Good idea!
Unfortunately I haven't been able to emacs -Q in Mac due to my poor setup.
I can't even pass the option!
Could someone suggest a better way to do this?
$ which emacs
/usr/bin/emacs
$ cat `which emacs`
#!/bin/sh
open -a /Applications/Emacs.app/Contents/MacOS/Emacs "$@"
My goal is to be able to launch "emacs <dir/file>" from Terminal.app, such
that Emacs doesn't steal control over the terminal while it runs.
Ordinarly, one would use "emacs <dir/file> &", but I like to close the
terminal, and I don't want Emacs to die with it. So I use "open -a..."
The problem with this arrangement is that this doesn't allow command line
options to be sent to Emacs. "open" provides --args, but I haven't been
able to use it properly.
