open(1) works for me, for example,
$ open -a Emacs ~/.emacs.d/init.el
if *.el has been set Emacs as its default opening App, you can also omit '-a
Emacs':
$ open ~/.emacs.d/init.el
It should work out-of-box, i.e., no configuration needed from the Emacs
side, the following should works for you:
# Start a fresh Emacs
$ open -a /Applications/Emacs.app -n --args -Q
# Open a file
$ open -a /Applications/Emacs.app ~/.emacs.d/init.el
BTW, emacsclient(1) works as well. After 'M-x server-start' from a GUI
Emacs window:
$ emacsclient --no-wait ~/.emacs.d/init.el
