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. + +;;; Code: + +(defvar resume-emacs-args-file (expand-file-name "~/.emacs_args") + "*This file is where arguments are placed for a suspended Emacs job.") + +(defvar resume-emacs-args-buffer " *Command Line Args*" + "Buffer that is used by `resume-process-args'.") + +(defun resume-process-args () + "Handler for command line args given when Emacs is resumed." + (let ((start-buffer (current-buffer)) + (args-buffer (get-buffer-create resume-emacs-args-buffer)) + length args + (command-line-default-directory default-directory)) + (unwind-protect + (progn + (set-buffer args-buffer) + (erase-buffer) + ;; get the contents of resume-emacs-args-file + (condition-case () + (let ((result (insert-file-contents resume-emacs-args-file))) + (setq length (car (cdr result)))) + ;; the file doesn't exist, ergo no arguments + (file-error + (erase-buffer) + (setq length 0))) + (if (<= length 0) + (setq args nil) + ;; get the arguments from the buffer + (goto-char (point-min)) + (while (not (eobp)) + (skip-chars-forward " \t\n") + (let ((begin (point))) + (skip-chars-forward "^ \t\n") + (setq args (cons (buffer-substring begin (point)) args))) + (skip-chars-forward " \t\n")) + ;; arguments are now in reverse order + (setq args (nreverse args)) + ;; make sure they're not read again + (erase-buffer)) + (resume-write-buffer-to-file (current-buffer) resume-emacs-args-file) + ;; if nothing was in buffer, args will be null + (or (null args) + (setq command-line-default-directory + (file-name-as-directory (car args)) + args (cdr args))) + ;; actually process the arguments + (command-line-1 args)) + ;; If the command line args don't result in a find-file, the + ;; buffer will be left in args-buffer.
