There are several ways to set it (with --daemon=myname, or --eval, or M-: (setq ...)), but you're right: the documentation states that it is settable with set-variable, and it is not. At the very least it should be (defvar server-name "server" "*Name of the server process.") (put 'server-name 'variable-interactive "M") if not a defcustom. Juanma
