   Starting from systemd is a league beyond what I've done. But you might like this script: #!/bin/sh emacsclient -t $@ || (emacs --daemon && emacsclient -t $@) You'll want something like (unless

   Thanks. (Though this is somewhat belated--since it took 4 days, I suspect you'll never see this. I'd be interested to know if I'm wrong; please speak up in that case!)

    Do you know how Andrea and Remzi feel about that? They've generously made the book free overall, so I'd guess (without real evidence) that they'd prefer for people to get version updates if they do choose to purchase this f

    I like Peter Watts on this. WARNING--this will be a spoiler of sorts for Blindsight . So... go read it. It's online for free, as is a fair amount of his back catalog, and it is a CLASSIC of harder-than-hard SF. http://www.r
