# em.csh

A Linux (C-shell) wrapper script for launching XEmacs/gnuclient

Starts either XEmacs (on current host) or gnuclient, depending on whether there is 

already an XEmacs process; this is determined by looking for the process or a tag file (.gnuhost)

in user's home directory.

With -n option, starts a new XEmacs process, skipping the gnuclient functionality.

.cshrc setup: gnuclient requires GNU_SECURE to be set. I recommend the following your .cshrc file:

    setenv GNU_SECURE $HOME/.gnu_secure_file

    if ( ! -e $GNU_SECURE ) then

      touch $GNU_SECURE >> /dev/null

    endif

    grep `hostname` $GNU_SECURE >> /dev/null

    if ( $status ) then

      echo $HOST >> $GNU_SECURE

    endif

Usage: em.csh [-n] [file(s)]

Note: within the script you might want to adjust values for variables XEMACS/XEMACS_OPTIONS/GNUCLIENT 

to suit your environment. If IGNORE_LOCAL_XEMACS_PROCESS is set to 0, and the .gnuhost tag file 

is missing, gnuclient tries to connect to the local running XEmacs process (if there is one).

# em.sh

Wrapper script for Emacs and emacsclient.

Starts either Emacs (on current host) or emacsclient, depending on whether there is

already an Emacs process; this is determined by looking for the process or a tag file (.emacshost)

in user's home directory.

With -n option, starts a new Emacs process, skipping the emacsclient functionality.

With -d commands are only printed, not executed

Usage: em.sh [-n] [-d] [emacs-option(s)] [file(s)]
