cookies, configuration, etc.  Only the "master" ELinks instance does any real
work and any other ELinkses you run will only connect to this instance.  So when
you want to restart ELinks, make sure you have no other ELinks instances
running.</p><p>Alternatively, you can use the <code class="literal">-no-connect</code> parameter to make ELinks always run
standalone, or create a parallel group of ELinks instances with the
<code class="literal">-session-ring N</code> parameter (where <code class="literal">N</code> is a number larger than zero).  Be aware
of that in those cases ELinks won't touch any configuration, bookmark, cookies,
etc. files.  You can force that with the <code class="literal">-touch-files</code> parameter, but beware
that this can result in data loss!  (For example, when two master ELinks
instances try to save the bookmarks, and you add a bookmark to each of those,
only one of the bookmarks survives.)</p></div></div><div class="navfooter"><hr><table width="100%" summary="Navigation footer"><tr><td width="40%" align="left"><a accesskey="p" href="ch01s07.html">Prev</a> </td><td width="20%" align="center"> </td><td width="40%" align="right"> <a accesskey="n" href="ch02s02.html">Next</a></td></tr><tr><td width="40%" align="left" valign="top">Feature configuration file (<code class="literal">features.conf</code>) </td><td width="20%" align="center"><a accesskey="h" href="index.html">Home</a></td><td width="40%" align="right" valign="top"> How does cutting and pasting work?</td></tr></table></div></body></html>
