You can solve this problem by setting up Emacs as an @dfn{edit

accordingly. There are two ways to start an Emacs server:

@cindex systemd unit file
@item
If your operating system uses @command{systemd} to manage startup,
you can automatically start Emacs in daemon mode when you login
using the supplied @dfn{systemd unit file}. To activate this:
@example
systemctl --user enable emacs
@end example

need to copy the @file{emacs.service} file to a standard directory
such as @file{~/.config/systemd/user/}.)
@cindex socket activation, systemd, Emacs
@item
An external process can invoke the Emacs server when a connection
event occurs upon a specified socket and pass the socket to the new
Emacs server process. An instance of this is @command{systemd}'s
socket functionality: the @command{systemd} service creates a socket and
Emacs server process. An instance of this is the socket functionality
of @command{systemd}: the @command{systemd} service creates a socket and
listens for connections on it; when @command{emacsclient} connects to
it for the first time, @command{systemd} can launch the Emacs server
and hand over the socket to it for servicing @command{emacsclient}
connections. A setup to use this functionality could be:
