The following shell script will do everything that is necessary: You can run a complete batch command from the command line with the following incantation: #!/bin/sh emacs -batch -l ~/.emacs -l ~/.gnus.el -f gnus-agent-batch >/dev/null 2>&1 My question: Is it allowed to run this in a separate session ? I mean, would this harm anything if I run this from a terminal while I'm actively reading mails/news in gnus ? Best -- erik colson ecocode.net
