So, in what way is --eval useful without an Emacs already running?
,----
| $ lib-src/emacsclient -a emacs --eval '(+ 2 2)'
| 4
| $ lib-src/emacsclient -a emacs --eval '(server-force-delete)'
| "Connection file \"/run/user/1000/emacs/server\" deleted"
| $ lib-src/emacsclient -a emacs --eval '(+ 2 2)'
| lib-src/emacsclient: can't find socket; have you started the server?
| lib-src/emacsclient: To start the server in Emacs, type "M-x server-start".

And I have a new Emacs instance running with a buffer named (+ 2 2) and
(New file) printed in the echo area.
Cheers,
Sven
