Re: run emacs in batch mode without a tty

The docs say:

   "In batch mode (see Batch Mode), sit-for cannot be interrupted, even by input from the standard input descriptor. It is thus equivalent to sleep-for, which is described below."

but I am pretty sure (sit-for seconds) *IS* interrupted by something.

So... this

    (while t
      (sleep-for 30))

Stops the script from ending until I'm ready to explicitly end it.

Muahahaha!
