;;; resume.el --- process command line args from within a suspended Emacs job ;; Copyright (C) 1992 Free Software Foundation, Inc. ;; Author: Joe Wells <jbw@bucsf.bu.edu> ;; Adapted-By: ESR ;; Keywords: processes ;; This file is part of GNU Emacs. ;; GNU Emacs is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify ;; it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by ;; the Free Software Foundation; either version 1, or (at your option) ;; any later version. ;; GNU Emacs is distributed in the hope that it will be useful, ;; but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of ;; MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.

Then, you suspend your emacs job. When you want to edit ;; something else, you type "emacs filename" as usual, but instead of ;; starting a new emacs job, the old job is resumed instead, and the command ;; line arguments are placed in a file where the old emacs job looks for ;; them. ;; Stephan Gildea suggested bug fix (gildea@bbn.com). ;; Ideas from Michael DeCorte and other people. ;; For csh users, insert the following alias in your .cshrc file ;; (after removing the leading double semicolons, of course): ;; ;;# The following line could be just EMACS_CMD=emacs, but this depends on ;;# your site. ;;if (! $?EMACS_CMD) set EMACS_CMD=emacs ;;set JOBS_FILE=/tmp/jobs.$USER.$$ ;;set ARGS_FILE=~/.emacs_args ;;set STOP_PATT='^\[[0-9]*\] *[ +-] Stopped ............ ' ;;set SUNVIEW_CMD='emacstool -nw -f emacstool-init -f server-start' ;;set X_CMD=\'\''$EMACS_CMD -i -f server-start' ;;alias emacs \ ;;' \\ ;; jobs >! "$JOBS_FILE" \\ ;; && grep "$STOP_PATT$EMACS_CMD" "$JOBS_FILE" >& /dev/null \\ ;; && echo `pwd` \!* >! "$ARGS_FILE" && ""fg %$EMACS_CMD \\ ;;|| if (! -e ~/.emacs_server || -f ~/.emacs_server) set status=1 \\ ;; && emacsclient \!* \\ ;;|| @ status=1 - $?DISPLAY && eval "$X_CMD -i \!* &" \\ ;;|| @ status=1 - $?WINDOW_PARENT && eval "$SUNVIEW_CMD \!* &" \\ ;;|| ""$EMACS_CMD -nw \!* \\ ;;' ;; ;; The alias works as follows: ;; 1. If there is a suspended Emacs job 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 GNU Emacs process in the ;; background as an X client. ;; 4. Else if the WINDOW_PARENT environment variable is set, presume we ;; are running under SunView and start an emacstool process in the ;; background. ;; 5. Else start a regular Emacs process. ;; ;; Notes: ;; 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 name ~/.emacs_args. ;; The "-nw" switch to Emacs means no windowing system. ;; Insert this in your .emacs file: ;;(add-hook 'suspend-hook 'resume-suspend-hook) ;; Finally, put the rest in a file named "resume.el" in a lisp library ;; directory. ;;; Code: (defvar resume-emacs-args-file (expand-file-name "~/.emacs_args") "*This file is where arguments are placed for a suspended emacs job.")
