Making My Emacs Start Faster

Starting from systemd is a league beyond what I've done. But you might like this script:

    #!/bin/sh
    emacsclient -t $@ || (emacs --daemon && emacsclient -t $@)

You'll want something like

    (unless (server-running-p)
      (server-start))

in your init file.

Or use

    emacsclient -t --alternative-editor=""

and emacsclient will start the daemon if it hasn't already been started. You can also set the ALTERNATIVE_EDITOR environment variable to "" to achieve the same effect.

After some investigation I found that the option and the env var are called "alternate editor" and not "alternative editor".
