Re: How to install emacs server on ubuntu

[n179911]

Thank you Tomas.

I use this way, which works for me:

My EDITOR env is ~/bin/edit where
"edit" is the following simply bash script:

,----
| #!/bin/bash
| # edit
| export GDK_NATIVE_WINDOWS=1
| exec emacsclient --alternate-editor="" -c "$@"
`----

emacsclient will start the daemon if it's not already started.

With 'update-rc.d' itself: just type

 update-rc.d emacsd remove

Note that it won't delete the script in /etc/init.d/emacsd. It will set
up things so that in won't be called at start/stop of the system.

(You can learn such things by invoking the manual page of update-rc.d:
just type at a terminal window: "man update-rc.d").

Did you investigate the other avenues? Do you now know why it didn't
work?
