Re: Open files in a new frames from command line

[posts@grierwhite.com (Christopher J. White)]

Michael,

Unfortunately you didn't specify what OS you are working on.
You basically need to start a server process from emacs, then
use a command line client that communicates with the server
to open files.  The process is slightly different dependent on
the OS you are using.

Unix/linux:
In emacs: M-x server-start
>From shell: emacsclient <file>
Don't recall if it works to specify mor than one <file> on the line, but
if not you can easily write a shell script to do this.

Win:
Download and install gnuserv
Check out: http://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/windows/faq3.html#assoc

Mac OS:
Also uses gnuserv mechanism...can't be sure, but I think it
came with the SDK.
