There are quite a few outstanding features to add, and quite a few annoying bugs to squash, soon there should be a alpha release. How soon? now that’s the question.

Hell Yes! http://www.xmonk.org/2008/09/29/emacs-daemon-hell-yes/ http://www.xmonk.org/2008/09/29/emacs-daemon-hell-yes/#comments Mon, 29 Sep 2008 21:13:16 +0000 xmonk http://www.xmonk.org/?p=70 I’m late to the party, there have been several blog posts on this through the intertubes, but I have to add my w00t!

For those wanting to play with this, It’s only available on the development version, meaning you’ll need to get the source from CVS/SVN/Git repos, (some distros have packages for emacs23 so look around for your repo) and compile, if you need help with this, give me a holler or just checkout emacswiki.

To start the daemon just do:

emacs –daemon

It will detach itself, so all is good. Then on your terminal:

emacsclient -t (if you want to run it inside the terminal)

or

emacsclient -c (To create a frame for Emacs gui)

I have it starting at boot from a init script I made, and it’s working beautifully!

Some of you might be wondering why have an editor run as a daemon, well in the specific case of emacs, it’s really a convenience of having just one instance running, and really now, you don’t need more than one, at least I don’t. There might be other reasons, but to be honest I don’t care, I just love it, and want to say thanks to all the emacs-devel team.
