Multiple emacsclient

Hi all,

I sometimes use emacs daemon mode and would like to use it more, since I
have the habit of getting in and out of Emacs often. However, if an
emacsclient is connecting to the daemon, another instance cannot be started
("Waiting for Emacs..."). Is this what's supposed to happen? Can't two or
more emacsclient connect to the same daemon?

Yes. One console for one emacsclient. If tty devices are not enough, you
can run emacsclient in shell-mode.:)

Ah, so I need to run 'emacsclient -t' instead of just 'emacsclient'. Thanks
anyway :)

Well, I'm often confused by the terminology and the technical jargon, but I
think you can have multiple clients connected to the same daemon, see

http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/MultiTTYSupport

The key is the "-c" switch, possibly combined with "-t".
Or do I get this completely wrong ?? (I might !)

David.

emacsclient is waiting for Emacs to tell it it's done editing that
file.  That's important if you use emacsclient as your EDITOR.  If you
want emacsclient to return immediately, use the -n option.

Do you use emacsclient in terminals?  If not, just use parameter
`-c -n', which creates an X window and doesn't wait for
(server-edit).  If you do, you can use the command `make-frame',
or command `find-file-other-frame', and those similar
-other-frame commands.
