I start emacs and type M-x R (the normal start of ess).

emacsclient: can't stat /tmp/esrv500-darwin.ii.uam.es: Success
Error in edit(name, file, title, editor) : 
	problem with running editor emacsclient

If I start the emacs server (M-x server-start) the problem is fixed!!!
is there any way to make emacs start this server each time R is called
(M-x R)? Or even to make the server start each time you log in?
