Re: gnuserv

I don't know, maybe, or maybe I'm misunderstanding how the server works. Let me explain what I want, and then you can tell me if gnuserv works for me. My software development is heavily intertwined with xemacs. I work on several different projects at any given time, and for each project I want to utilize a gnuserver process. The reason being is that I run compiles, cscope, etags, devlopment styling tools in xemacs. Each of these is specific to one environment. BTW, each environment has up 2500 'C' and assembly source files. The reason for the server is that I telecommute heavily for work. When I'm at home, I don't want to have to re-create my process setup everytime, so I opt to use the gnuserver so that I can connect to my development process from anywhere. We live in the new Millenium, right? :) Now, from the gnuclient man page I see that the -p flag allows me to connect to a different port. -p port Used only with Internet-domain sockets, this option specifies the service port used to communicate between server and clients. If this option is not XEmacs Server Last change: 2 User Commands GNUSERV(1) specified, then the value of the environment vari- able GNU_PORT is used, if set, otherwise a service called ``gnuserv'' is looked up in the services database. Finally, if no other value can be found for the port, then a default port is used which is usually 21490 + uid. Note that since gnuserv doesn't allow command-line options, the port for it will have to be specified via one of the alternative methods. I'm assuming this flag is to let me access another server on the same workstation? Is this not correct? This is how I was hoping the gnuserver would work? BTW, older versions of xemacs use to create multiple server processes on my system (which is what I wanted), but I never could use the -p flag to bind to each different process (which I thought was just a bug). Thanks for your time, (RAZ) p.s. I'm not a LISP person by any means, so asking me to roll my own thing in LISP won't work.
