Subject: 28.2; emacsclient does not recognise eval argument
Date: Thu, 27 Apr 2023 09:48:40 +0100
[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]
In the terminal, I type the command
emacsclient -s test -a emacs --eval "(message \"hello\")"
Emacs visits a file called (message "hello"), so in fact it interprets the
last input as the name to a file instead of evaluating the lisp expression.
