Gentlemen,

thanks for the many helpful replies!

To start with, it now works for me and I can measure a consistent =
speedup of 7x (!) for using emacsclient - in an interactive web service =
(conversion of org-files to HTML) the difference between 0.35 s and 2.40 =
s (average) is significant.

(1) Having started the emacs server with

emacs --daemon=3Dorg

this shell script works for me:

#!/bin/sh
emacsclient -s org
--eval "(progn=20
(add-to-list 'load-path \"/opt/org-6.33c/lisp/\")
(require 'org)(require 'org-exp)
(setq org-export-headline-levels 2)
(find-file \"$1\")
(org-export-as-html 2 nil nil nil nil \".\")
(kill-buffer))"

I have added a (kill-buffer) statement for cleaning up (I observed an =
increasing number of emacsclient processes before), is this a good =
solution?

(2) A problem remains with (1): it seems that I need to "name" the =
daemon. Otherwise there could be a conflict with Emacs daemons started =
by other users. How can I make sure the daemon is running if the script =
requires it? I read about a "-a" option for emacsclient - how would this =
work in my case?

Many thanks in advance.
Warm regards,
 Stefan
