David -
I can't help you with the Linux part of that but I use Jconsole under emacs
in MS Windows every day. Maybe a quick overview of how I do this would be
helpful in some general sense.
First, I have the following lines in my .emacs file:
; ------ start .emacs lines...
(setq explicit-shell-file-name "\\UTL\\MyCmd.bat") ; Invoke DOS command line
; where "MyCmd.bat" invokes DOS with the prompt I prefer:
;Rem MyCmd.bat: run my command shell with customized prompt
;CMD.EXE /K C:\UTL\SetPrmpt.bat
; where "setPrmpt.bat" is:
;prompt [$d $b $t $b $p]$_$g
; Some other stuff that may or may not be useful in my DOS shell
(setq shell-file-name-chars " ")
(setq comint-prompt-regexp "^\>")
(setq shell-prompt-pattern "^[*]\n\>")
(setq shell-last-dir t)
; Don't know if j-mode really buys me anything...
;; j mode new as of 20040920 (from Alexander Schmolck)
(autoload 'j-mode "j-mode.el" "Major mode for J." t)
(autoload 'j-shell "j-mode.el" "Run J from emacs." t)
(setq auto-mode-alist
(cons '("\\.ij[rstp]" . j-mode) auto-mode-alist))
;(setq j-path "C:\\Program Files\\J601\\")
(setq j-path "C:\\Documents and Settings\\Dev\\j602\\bin")
; Shortcuts for a few commands to run when in J session:
(fset 'Jtime-expression-with-quotes
"\C-a6!:2 '\C-[r'''\C-e'\C-a")
(fset 'Jcomment-line
"NB. \C-a\C-n")
(fset 'Jellipsis-line
"\C-k...\C-[3\C-b\C-n")
; Convert rows in buffer to quoted enclosed items of J list.
(fset 'rows-to-enclose
[?\C-x ?/ ?a ?\C-[ ?r ?\C-q ?\C-j return ?' ?; ?' return backspace backspace
?\C-r ?; ?\C-f ?< ?\C-a ?' ?\C-a])
(fset 'cvtExcelMat-to-J
[?\C-x ?/ ?a escape ?r ?- return ?_ return ?\C-x ?j ?a escape ?r ?\C-q tab
return ? return ?\C-x ?j ?a escape ?r ?\C-q ?\C-j return ?, return ?\C-r ?,
?\C-d ?\C-r ?\C-r ?\C-b ?\C-f ?\C-f ?: ?\C-x ?j ?a])
; So I don't have to keep typing this directory:
(set-register ?j "\\amisc\\JSys\\user\\code\\")
; Finally, invoke DOS under emacs:
(shell)
; ------ end .emacs lines...
So, once I start emacs, I end up at a DOS prompt and can enter something
like:
"C:\Documents and Settings\Dev\j602\bin\jconsole.exe"
to invoke Jconsole under emacs.
Hope this helps.
Regards,
Devon
