This also ensures that Aquamacs gets restarted, in the relatively rare cases where it's croaked for some reason. The one problem with it is that it's no good at creating a new file: if I "e nonesuch", where "nonesuch" does not already exist, "open" refuses to go further.

The aquamacs script that is installed with the Aquamacs Command Line Tools takes care of that.

That said, it's not as good as emacsclient when it comes to communicating with an existing process.   Ultimately, we should probably fuse the two.
