README suggestion #99

Closed nehrbash closed 4 years ago

I launch emacs as a daemon and had to change my systemd startup process to point to a shell script to source my profile and rc files before launching the daemon. I feel like this fix would be useful to other if mentioned in the README.

Done, thank you.

What is now mentioned in the readme already helps, but I'm not sure it fully covers @snehrbass' fix? For exec-path-from-shell-initialize to get my user's path I had to replace

ExecStart=/path/to/emacs --daemon

with

ExecStart=/bin/bash -c 'source .bashrc; /path/to/emacs --daemon

otherwise my user's local bin would not be included in the path. Maybe something along these lines would be helpful to add @purcell ?

If I'm understanding your comment correctly, aren't you suggesting I tell users to set things up so that they don't need this package? I feel like that's a little bit out of scope for this README.
