What's the purpose of the second /bin/bash occurrence?  My impression is 
that this script is just not your final version (with "emacs" commented 
out ...)? 

I'm not sure how I can be more clear, the fact that each .emacs.dir is a 
tracking remote from my central repository, in case I want/need to run git 
commands before and/or after I run emacs. Saves maintaining a dual set of 
scripts for every instance - when I've climbed the linux learning curve a bit 
I'll check out that suggestion wrt the rc file.

But so far see no need for creating new users. . .


@Robert - well buying separate hardware for just this purpose wouldn't simplify 
things 8-)
