Here is something similar but differnt. There is no elisp code and
has certain advantages and disadvantages that you have to think about
yourself.
The basic features are:
resumes a background emacs job if there is one
1) if you are using suntools, brings up emacstool
2) if you are using X, brings up emacs with the -i option (sets up icon)
3) if you are using a windowning system and have a background emacs
it calls emacsclient
This is for csh only. NOTE: I broke up the lines, putting a \ at the
break, you have to rejoin them.
set emacs=("emacs -nw" "fg %emacs" "emacs -i" emacsclient emacstool\
emacsclient emacs emacsclient);
alias gnu 'set background=("\!*" "" "\!* &" "\!* &" "\!* &" "\!* &" "\!* &"\
"\!* &") ; jobs >! $HOME/.jobs; grep emacs < $HOME/.jobs >& /dev/null;@\
isjob = ! $status; @ whichjob = 1 + $isjob + $?DISPLAY * 2 +\
$?WINDOW_PARENT * 4; eval $emacs[$whichjob] $background[$whichjob]'
You shouldn't be worried about speed, the alias although large
is quite fast.
