Is there a way to force Epoch, outside Epoch itself, to save all modified buffers that are currently being edited? The reason I ask is that (like a good convert) I am currently running an Epoch on the machine in my office. Since I don't generally log out, it's running as I type this (in Emacs, dialed in from home). However, I'd like to edit a file that I know Epoch has open. I realize that if I change such a file, Epoch will warn me that the file on disk has changed when I next go into the office, but in the meanwhile, I'm not certain that I saved out the changes I was making before I left. Perhaps the best solution is for me to save everything before I go home; however, it would be nice to have some way to tell it to save everything when I'm logged in from here. Any ideas? Is this something simple that I never learned, or is it too complicated to be worth implementing?

I am not sure this is what you want, but the command "save-some-buffers" saves all unsaved files. This has to be run from within epoch though. -- -----------------------------------+ Kristian Jorg ! e-mail: etxkrjg@solsta.ericsson.se ! -----------------------------------+

Try the gnudoit application in the gnuserv package. (also in contrib) Use the emacs lisp function save-some-buffers see the documetation on this function using c-h f you will probably want to use it with 2 non nil arguments to force saving of all interesting buffers. -- Name: Knut-Hevard Aksnes Name using 7bit mailer: Knut-Haavard Aksnes Ericsson sig: HI/ETN/U/IT KNA Email: etnkna@etn.ericsson.se Memo id.: ETN.ETNKNA Phone: +47 41 19481
