Thank you for the link. I have found it interesting due to I am unaware 
what is considered as best practices in relation to invoking of emacsclient.

Though I am a bit lazy to try doom-emacs just now. Does the script works 
correctly if emacs server is already running but with no frames at the 
moment of script execution?

A couple of things I have noticed in the script:
- Systemd service file in emacs stops server without redefining of 
kill-emacs-hook.
- Despite it was not exactly the same problem, cleanup in shell script 
after completion of a child process was discussed in [1]. Some subtle 
aspects are better highlighted in the non-top rated answer. I suspect, 
in the case of emacs races might happen in different places.
