Here is my setup. In .fluxbox I have a key defined that starts an "emacs-gnus" executable script. That script simply has: #!/bin/sh emacs -q -l /home/haines/.emacs.d/elisp/gnus.el exit 0 The gnus.el file defines the news servers and some other parameters which have never been a problem. As its final line I have: (gnus) When I hit the key, gnus starts OK, and it checks new news. However, there are two problems. First, when gnus starts, the emacs minibuffer says, "Gnus auto-save file exists. Do you want to read it?" If I respond "y", messages are retrieved. I don't know why gnus needs to access an auto-save file and I would like to avoid the query under normal conditions. Second, when I do "g" to update the groups, gnus simply hangs. $ ps aux tells me there are two processes running: /bin/sh /home/haines/scripts/emacs-gnus emacs -q -l /home/haines/.emacs.d/elisp/gnus.el I have to kill them and start gnus anew in order to read news again. I would prefer that the emacs client run gnus all the time and I only need to press g to update it. Haines Brown
