what is the best way to start emacs --deamon in a debian (testing)
system?
Should i put it in a selfmade init script to /etc/init.d or into /
etc/profiles
or some elsewhere?
A system file is not the appropriate choice (you won't own the
process). A script which is executed at your (personal) login time is
more suitable – but it must not launch GNU Emacs whenever a login
shell is initiated! This can be achieved by checking before whether
GNU Emacs is running, whether an environment variable is set (set when
GNU Emacs was launched as daemon the first time), whether a semaphore
file exists (created when GNU Emacs was launched as daemon the first
time)...
