I set in my .bashrc something like alias emacs="`emacswrapper.sh`"
where emacswrapper.sh is the attached script.

Here, dtemacs is a nice script provided with the Debian gnuserv
package. Google for it if not using Debian. It tries to contact emacs
with gnuclient, starting a new emacs if there is no answer. Thanks to
my emacswrapper.sh script, whenever I call `emacs', the correct
instance for me is executed, this is, `emacs -nw' if connected by ssh,
`dtemacs' if on Linux with X running, `gnuclientw' if on a cygwin
environment and a bare `emacs' in any other case.

Works for me, I hope is also useful for you. Of course, YMMV!
