Stopped ............ $EMACS" ;;alias emacs \ ;;' \\ ;; jobs >! /tmp/jobs$$ \\ ;; && grep "$EMACS_PATTERN" /tmp/jobs$$ >& /dev/null \\ ;; && echo `pwd` \!* >! ~/.emacs_args && eval "%$EMACS" \\ ;;|| test -S ~/.emacs_server && emacsclient \!* \\ ;;|| test "$?DISPLAY" = 1 && eval "\$EMACS -i \!* &" \\ ;;|| test "$?WINDOW_PARENT" = 1 && eval "emacstool -f emacstool-init \!* &" \\ ;;|| eval "\$EMACS -nw \!*"' ;; ;; The alias works as follows: ;; 1. If there is a suspended emacs jobs that is a child of the ;; current shell, place its arguments in the ~/.emacs_args file and ;; resume it. ;; 2. Else if the ~/.emacs_server socket has been created, presume an ;; emacs server is running and attempt to connect to it. If no emacs ;; server is listening on the socket, this will fail. ;; 3. Else if the DISPLAY environment variable is set, presume we are ;; running under X Windows and start a new X Gnu Emacs process in the ;; background. ;; 4. Else if the WINDOW_PARENT environment variable is set, presume we ;; are running under Sunview and Suntools and start an emacstool ;; process in the background. ;; 5. Else start a regular emacs process. ;; ;; Notes: ;; "test -S" checks if a unix domain socket by that name exists. ;; The output of the "jobs" command is not piped directly into "grep" ;; because that would run the "jobs" command in a subshell. ;; Before resuming a suspended emacs, the current directory and all ;; command line arguments are placed in a file. ;; The command to run emacs is always preceded by a \ to prevent ;; possible alias loops. ;; The "-nw" switch in the last line is is undocumented, and it means ;; no windowing system.
