Well, actually what I try to do is to keep an emacs daemon in the background. Whenever I finished editing, I would delete the frame while keeping the emacs running as daemon in the background. And next time when I wish to edit anything, I would use the emacsclient command in the terminal. `emacsclient -c -a ""` somehow does the work, but it occupies the terminal until the new emacsclient frame is killed, and that is the reason why I added the `-n` flag.

The customary way to run emacs is to have it open on your desktop. Edit away. Leave it open so you can come back to it. You generally shouldn't have more than one emacs process per user. Having set up to use emacsclient, you (or more likely, programs you use such as a mail reader) can then call emacsclient so you can then edit files from that program in emacs. If you do it that way, you don't get (or need) an instance of emacs in daemon mode. https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/emacs/Emacs-Server.html Thanks for reply.

Emacsclient bug in sid
Dear Debian-user group: I recently noticed a bug for the emacs package in sid. I have not reported a bug before, so I wrote this email to seek for help. After upgraded to emacs 29.1+1-5, I found that the emacsclient command is not working. More specifically, the following command hangs emacs in daemon forever and no emacs frame pops up: ``` emacsclient -c -a "" -n ``` However, `emacsclient -c -a ""` summons the emacs frame properly although it occupies the terminal. Thanks for your help. Best regards, Yizhen
