#!/bin/sh

EMACS=3Demacs-23.1
EMACSCLIENT=3Demacsclient-23.1
FLAGS=3D-n

$EMACSCLIENT -e nil >/dev/null || $EMACS --daemon

NR_FRAMES=3D$($EMACSCLIENT -e '(1- (length (frame-list)))')

if [ $NR_FRAMES -eq 0 ];then
    FLAGS=3D"$FLAGS -c"
fi

$EMACSCLIENT $FLAGS "$@"


There seems to be an invisible frame, representing the daemon or
something.
