- I have a more difficult question about how to manage emacsclient when you
- have emacs running on a different system than your host machine:
-
- What I do now is :
- Start my windowsession
- Run emacs on a host with a low load average
- emacs then appends its current hostname to the file ~/.emacserver.add
- and does a server-start
- Any program that wants to use emacsclient must be run on the machine given
- by the last line in the file ~/.emacserver.add (via rsh or something).
-
- The problem with this is that I don't know of a way to catch emacs before
- it shuts down to remove its address from the ~/.emacserver.add file.
-
- How do you catch emacs before it is killed?
-
- Can anyone suggest a better way to do this?
-
- I looked in the FAQ--there's a prog called gnuserv that I haven't
- investigated. Is this the correct route? I don't have root permission and
- wouldn't be able to recompile emacs or anything.
