emacsclient is supposed to 'jump into' an already emacs.
What if there is no emacs running? I get:
$ emacsclient foo.txt
emacsclient: can't find socket; have you started the server?
To start the server in Emacs, type "M-x server-start".
emacsclient: No socket or alternate editor. Please use:
--socket-name
--server-file (or environment variable EMACS_SERVER_FILE)
--alternate-editor (or environment variable ALTERNATE_EDITOR)
Ok so far so good. So I use the --alternate-editor
$ emacsclient --alternate-editor emacs foo.txt
emacsclient: can't find socket; have you started the server?
To start the server in Emacs, type "M-x server-start".
After printng which, it starts ok, editing the file!!
IOW I find the error message spurious.
Am I missing something?
