@nobiot I will make an experiment with `-c` option as you suggest, just to be sure, and then I will make the PR … however this will happen after 3 June 2024, because I will be away for a few days.

FYI. This may be relevant as a future reference for Mac users wanting to use emacs as a daemon: [pel/doc/emacs-daemon.rst.txt at master · pierre-rouleau/pel · GitHub](https://github.com/pierre-rouleau/pel/blob/master/doc/emacs-daemon.rst.txt)

Hello @nobiot ,

I have tried using option `-c` with following configuration:

- `.emacs` does not contain `(server-start)`
- I start emacs from command line with `emacs --daemon`
- I modified the script to include `-c` option when invoking `emacsclient` as you suggested here [Problem with org-roam-protocol - #20 by nobiot](https://org-roam.discourse.group/t/problem-with-org-roam-protocol/3473/20)

With this configuration everything works.

So, I guess there are two options:

1. use the configuration described above
2. include `(server-start)` in `.emacs` and then you do not need the `-c` option when invoking the `emacsclient` in the script, you do not need to start emacs with `--daemon`

Do you still want me to do a pull request to update the documentation? If so, should I try to describe the two options in the documentation?
