Hi, I have an alias in bash that runs emacsclient if emacs daemon is already running and start emacs otherwise. However, in the event that a fresh instance of emacs is fired up, can I make it run in the background so I can still use that terminal (or close it)? In my bash profile, I have
alias ec="/usr/bin/emacsclient.emacs-snapshot -n -c -a /usr/bin/emacs-snapshot"
And I might be at the terminal and type
$ ec newfile
If emacs daemon is not already running, is there an alias I can create to make the line above do the equivalent of
$ emacs newfile &
instead of
$ emacs newfile
(I should also mention that I am using Linux Ubuntu and emacs-snapshot is assigned to the alias, 'emacs').
Thanks much!
