I use Emacs in batch mode a lot; using a server is tricky, because anything you
load or change on one run persists until the across future executions (for
example one execution might load a file, then the next one might forget to load
the file explicitly, but still work well because that file was previously
loaded; when you run the program again in a fresh instance, things fail).
Additionally, there are bugs in Emacsclient that make it tricky to use on its
own, so my current code relies on two instances of Emacs: a long-lived one and
a short-lived on. THe short-lived one is used to connect to the long-running
server. (This saves a lot because most of the execution time is otherwise spent
loading packages).
