Someone asked for a little alias the would either fireup emacs or bring it to the foreground. Well I came up with this. I am sure there is a more elegant and shorter way to do it but it does do it, at least on Sun OS 3.4. alias gnu 'eval `ps | egrep "([ ][e]macs|[ ][C]OMMAND)" | sed "s/.*emacs.*/fg %emacs/" | sed "s/.*COMMAND.*/emacs/" | tail -1`' It does force you to use gnu instead of emacs the way I have it here but you can if necessary modify it so that you can call it emacs, it is just more complicated.
