I'm wondering if there's a way to restart a Lisp image that already has Swank running. When using Franz's Emacs interaction package I can call dumplisp to save an image and then reload the image and continue running later. If I do this in slime the image hangs, it *appears* to me to be that the Swank server is running in the image and I would simply need a way to reconnect to it.

I'm restarting the lisp image using this elisp function. It works with images built using the command line lisp. (defun run-image (image-name) (interactive "fImage name: ") (when (slime-connected-p) (slime-repl-quit)) (slime (concat inferior-lisp-program " -I " (expand-file-name image-name))))

How would I do this? slime-connect doesn't seem to do the trick but maybe I'm using it wrong. Thanks, Andrew
