RTFM ,----[ (info "(emacs)Invoking emacsclient") ] | The option `--alternate-editor=COMMAND' is useful when running | `emacsclient' in a script. It specifies a command to run if | `emacsclient' fails to contact Emacs. For example, the following | setting for the EDITOR environment variable will always give you an | editor, even if no Emacs server is running: | | EDITOR="emacsclient --alternate-editor emacs +%d %s" | | The environment variable ALTERNATE_EDITOR has the same effect, but the | value of the `--alternate-editor' takes precedence. | | Alternatively, the file `etc/emacs.bash' defines a bash function | which will communicate with a running Emacs server, or start one if | none exists. `---- Greetings, Jochen -- Einigkeit und Recht und Freiheit http://www.Jochen-Kuepper.de Liberté, Égalité, Fraternité GnuPG key: CC1B0B4D (Part 3 you find in my messages before fall 2003.) _______________________________________________ Help-gnu-emacs mailing list Help-gnu-emacs@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/help-gnu-emacs
