Background Emacs calling for all sorts of stuff

[ciolansteen]

Do You want this feature ?
If yes, the only simple way to implement it (that I see) is to call Emacs in background process…
If you are interested by, I have something that does that...

As usual, I'm pretty busy but I will look this week-end to give you what I've done in this way.
For example, for PDF export, I trigger the following command :

emacs -Q --batch' +
' --eval "(require \'org)"' +
' --eval \'(setq org-latex-pdf-process (quote ("lualatex --draftmode --interaction=nonstopmode    --output-directory=%%o %%f" "lualatex --draftmode --interaction=nonstopmode --output-directory=%%o %%f" "lualatex --interaction=nonstopmode -shell-escape --output-directory=%%o %%f")))\'' +
' --eval "(setq org-latex-listings \'minted)"' +
' --eval "(setq org-confirm-babel-evaluate nil)"' +
' --eval "(org-babel-do-load-languages \'org-babel-load-languages \'((plantuml . t)))"' +
' --eval "(setq org-plantuml-jar-path (expand-file-name \\"/opt/plantuml.jar\\"))"' +
' --visit="%s"'+
' --funcall %s;

It's been a harsh and full year and I completely forgot about this request.
Thanks a lot for this. I will try it out and soon as I can.

Thanks!
