   The option `--alternate-editor=COMMAND' is useful when running
`emacsclient' in a script.  It specifies a command to run if
`emacsclient' fails to contact Emacs.  For example, the following
setting for the EDITOR environment variable will always give you an
editor, even if no Emacs server is running:

     EDITOR="emacsclient --alternate-editor emacs +%d %s"
