Does regressing to the previous version of async fix it? If so, can you find out the Git commit of that earlier version? Perhaps reading the diff will make it...

@thierryvolpiatto What do you think?

It works here; what do you see?

I might take a little while to appear. Is there any way to observe the processes on the system, to see if the child Emacs is being created and executed?

Interesting, it seems to be waiting for you to input a password in order to complete the startup process. I think you need to stop your subordinate Emacs from loading...

I don't know why it's trying to use ssh during an Emacs startup. What is the value of `async-quiet-switch` on your system?

t> when i change to use t> "--eval" "'(async-batch-invoke)'" What exactly did you change?

This sounds like both a great idea, and a frightening horror, all at once. ;)

Yes, this is a good idea.

That should be quite easy; I'd take a look at the way the async version of dired-do-copy works.
