Re: [Orgmode] org-protocol and missing server-delete-client function

[Sebastian Rose]

Hi John,


The appended patch should do.


I found, that here (emacs 23) it works, if I replace

  `server-delete-client'

with

   `server-sentinel'


In emacs23, `server-sentinel' calls `server-delete-client'.

I found `server-sentinel' in emacs22 (lisp/server.el) and it seems to do
what we need.

Would you mind to try that?

I will, but haven't compiled emacs22 yet (just have to think a little
about the best setup with two emacs versions).



The sense of the function is to kill the emacsclient and the servers
connection. Otherwise, we would get questions when exiting emacs:

  "Server buffer still has clients. ...."
