I've been trying to get emacs to spawn off an new process from within GNU, equivalent to typeing emacstool -Wp 500 67 -Ws 650 824 -WP 864 0 -Wi -WI /u/a5/roberts/icons/rmail.icon& from a SUN shelltool. I've been able to spawn an emacstool using the following method: (start-process "new" "" "emacstool" "") However, (start-process "new" "" "emacstool" "-Wp 500 67 -Ws 650 824 -WP 864 0 -Wi -WI /u/a5/roberts/icons/rmail.icon&") produces the identical effect, ignoring the window and icon position parameters. In addition, the form (shell-command "emacstool -Wp 500 67 -Ws 650 824 -WP 864 0 -Wi -WI /u/a5/roberts/icons/rmail.icon") starts an emacstool process with an icon, but then dies with a "child of tty died due to signal 6" message. Anybody have any ideas? The objective is to create an iconic shell process from within gnu emacs.
