Is there any way to stop emacs, run with --daemon, printing out
details about all of the config files it is loading? At the moment I
see
("emacs" "--quiet")
Loading charset...
Loading charset...done
(etc.) which is ugly since I want to start the server, when
appropriate, when I start my login shell by doing something like
function serverExists {
TMPDIR=${TMPDIR-/tmp};
TMPFILE="${TMPDIR}/ps-output.$$";
ps > ${TMPFILE}
grep -q 'emacs-X11' ${TMPFILE}
SERVER_STARTED=$?;
rm ${TMPFILE}
return $SERVER_STARTED;
}
if serverExists ; then
export EMACS_SERVER="emacs already started"
else
emacs --daemon --quiet
export EMACS_SERVER="emacs started here"
fi
echo $EMACS_SERVER
in my .bashrc.
Any ideas, anyone?

You could redirect the output of the command to /dev/null (if you're
using Linux or similar).

Why is the output a problem? How do you "login"?
Stefan
PS: You could avoid starting this daemon eagerly and do it lazily using
the "-a ''" parameter. BTW your `serverExists' could instead do
"emacsclient --eval 1".

If I understand you correctly, you want to suppress stdout/stderr output
of emacs --daemon?
You might just redirect that to /dev/null like so:
emacs --daemon > /dev/null 2>&1
(or did I misunderstand you completely?)

Hm. I don't quite understand this part. Besides, it seems a roundabout
way. What are you trying to achieve?

As is emacs --daemon IMO.
In emacs 23 using the alternate editor setting. My "edit" script is:-
,----
| #!/bin/bash
| # edit
| export GDK_NATIVE_WINDOWS=1
| exec emacsclient --alternate-editor="" -c "$@"
`----
Its in the man page for emacsclient and the wiki.

No, you understand perfectly. I'm pretty sure I tried that already,
but will try again. Thanks.

Oops.
Oops, oops, oops.
I completely missed that. How embarrassing.
Thanks for the "hint". In my defence, who would want a different editor :-D

I was right, I had tried this, or something like it, and it didn't work,
at least not perfectly. It might be that I forgot to do the "2>&1", I'm
not sure, but anyway your way works just fine. It doesn't work if I try
it with the emacsclient --alternate-editor "trick", I just get dumped
back to the command line instead of it starting any kind of emacs. I
guess I will have to decide between the two methods. I'm leaning towards
mine (yours and mine), because it means there is never a delay when
starting emacs, which is somehow gratifying (I find a delay when
starting the first bash session of the day acceptable, although in fact
I might even try
emacs --daemon > /dev/null 2>&1 &
meaning I might not even see that)

Heh, it's easily missed but very handy to know!
