copied!<p>Additionally you do not want the server to be started in batch-mode. In my <em>.emacs</em> I therefore use</p> <pre><code>(defconst --batch-mode (or noninteractive (member "--batch-mode" command-line-args)) "True when running in batch-mode (--batch-mode command-line switch set).") </code></pre> <p>and then</p> <pre><code>(unless --batch-mode (require 'server) (when (and (= emacs-major-version 23) (= emacs-minor-version 1) (equal window-system 'w32)) ;; Suppress error "directory ~/.emacs.d/server is unsafe" on Windows. (defun server-ensure-safe-dir (dir) "Noop" t)) (server-start)) </code></pre> <p>Still the server feature is capricious: <code>server-start</code> throws when the <em>%HOME%/.emacs.d/server</em> directory does not exist. In succession Emacs won't start up again! The obvious solution is to create the missing directory and try again; I found the solution somewhere on the net but really can't remember where. The following code runs successfully for years now on several of my Windows machines:</p> <pre><code>(unless --batch-mode (require 'server) (when (and (= emacs-major-version 23) (= emacs-minor-version 1) (equal window-system 'w32)) ;; Suppress error "directory ~/.emacs.d/server is unsafe" on Windows. (defun server-ensure-safe-dir (dir) "Noop" t)) (condition-case nil (server-start) (error (let* ((server-dir (if server-use-tcp server-auth-dir server-socket-dir))) (when (and server-use-tcp (not (file-accessible-directory-p server-dir))) (display-warning 'server (format "Creating %S" server-dir) :warning) (make-directory server-dir t) (server-start)))) ) ) </code></pre> <p>This code also works when running Emacs from a stick.</p> <p>Hope this helps.</p>
