I've got a "shell account" on a distant server and I've done a successful local user setup of Emacs 25. Now I'd like to have a bash alias that will start an Emacs daemon and give me (a) client(s) to work with. I've seen different advice on this. Can't seem to find the definite answer.

  • I use emacsclient -a '' -c now -- on my home computer (Ubuntu) to start Emacs. Didn't realize it would work in a -nw realm as well. . . . – 147pm Jan 30 '18 at 00:31
  • As far as "different advice" is concerned, just look at the link after yours from Nisba. Could you figure out who is right? Everyone is saying slightly different things.... – 147pm Jan 30 '18 at 12:17

Mjwall has, in my opinion, a quite clean setup.
