Then, you suspend your emacs job. When you want to edit -;; something else, you type "emacs filename" as usual, but instead of -;; starting a new emacs job, the old job is resumed instead, and the command -;; line arguments are placed in a file where the old emacs job looks for -;; them. +;; The purpose of this library is to handle command line arguments +;; when you resume an existing Emacs job. + +;; In order to use it, you must put this code in your .emacs file. + +;; (add-hook 'suspend-hook 'resume-suspend-hook) +;; (add-hook 'suspend-resume-hook 'resume-process-args) + +;; You can't get the benefit of this library by using the `emacs' command, +;; since that always starts a new Emacs job. Instead you must use a +;; command called `edit' which knows how to resume an existing Emacs job +;; if you have one, or start a new Emacs job if you don't have one. + +;; To define the `edit' command, run the script etc/emacs.csh (if you use CSH), +;; or etc/emacs.bash if you use BASH. You would normally do this in your +;; login script. ;; Stephan Gildea suggested bug fix (gildea@bbn.com). ;; Ideas from Michael DeCorte and other people. -;; For csh users, insert the following alias in your .cshrc file -;; (after removing the leading double semicolons, of course): -;; -;;# The following line could be just EMACS_CMD=emacs, but this depends on -;;# your site. -;;if (! $?EMACS_CMD) set EMACS_CMD=emacs -;;set JOBS_FILE=/tmp/jobs.$USER.$$ -;;set ARGS_FILE=~/.emacs_args -;;set STOP_PATT='^\[[0-9]*\] *[ +-] Stopped ............

Else if the ~/.emacs_server socket has been created, presume an -;; Emacs server is running and attempt to connect to it. If no Emacs -;; server is listening on the socket, this will fail. -;; 3. Else if the DISPLAY environment variable is set, presume we are -;; running under X Windows and start a new GNU Emacs process in the -;; background as an X client. -;; 4. Else if the WINDOW_PARENT environment variable is set, presume we -;; are running under SunView and start an emacstool process in the -;; background. -;; 5. Else start a regular Emacs process. -;; -;; Notes: -;; The output of the "jobs" command is not piped directly into "grep" -;; because that would run the "jobs" command in a subshell. -;; Before resuming a suspended emacs, the current directory and all -;; command line arguments are placed in a file name ~/.emacs_args. -;; The "-nw" switch to Emacs means no windowing system. - -;; Insert this in your .emacs file: -;;(add-hook 'suspend-hook 'resume-suspend-hook) - -;; Finally, put the rest in a file named "resume.el" in a lisp library -;; directory. - ;;; Code: (defvar resume-emacs-args-file (expand-file-name "~/.emacs_args") -- 2.39.2
