Emacs daemon memo
Run named daemon
Emacs --daemon
command line option can accept name argument(like --daemon=server1
).
% emacs --daemon=vim -Q % emacs --daemon=atom -Q
Sending S-expression via emacsclient
And we can specify server by -s
(--socket-name
) option of emacsclient
as below. (We can also specify socket file path instead of daemon name)
% emacsclient -s vim -e '(emacs-pid)' % emacsclient -s atom -e '(shell-command-to-string "vim --version")'
Shutdown emacs daemon
We can stop daemon by sending kill-emacs
% emacsclient -s vim -e '(kill-emacs)'
If you stop emacs daemon by kill command, you should also remove socket file at ${temporary-file-directory}/emacs${pid}/${servername}
such as /tmp/emacs1000/vim
.
