Subject: Open terminal window from emacs
Date: Fri, 27 Sep 2013 22:46:44 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <l24qrb$vop$1@ger.gmane.org> (raw)
Hey,
I try to open up urxvt from emacs and make the terminal emulator
automatically switch to the current working directory of the current
buffer (i.e. to the value of default-directory).
This is what I've come up with:
(call-process "/usr/bin/urxvt" nil 0 nil
(concat "-cd" default-directory))
But this doesn't work.
This
(call-process "/usr/bin/urxvt" nil 0 nil
"-cd ~/test")
doesn't work either, even though the directory exits.
Any pointers?
