I'm trying to start emacs from the command line and using an --eval section to
open a file and do some operations. I'm having a problem with the Linux
version.
Here's how I do it without error using the strange quoting in Windows:
--- emacs --eval ^( find-file c:/users/myname/somefile.org\^

In Linux I'm not sure how to do the quoting. I tried this:
--- emacs --eval ( find-file /home/somefile.org )
Provided you don't use any completely exotic shell, that is what Emacs
gets to see:
( find-file /home/somefile.org )
And I get the error:

Bash needs this instead
emacs --eval ( find-file ''/home/somefile.org'' )

I thought I had tried already that but I hadn't. Thanks Viktor.
