I'm making a call to an emacsclient and trying to figure out how to get the
buffer to unload at the end of the function I'm calling. I know kill-buffer
isn't supposed to unload the buffer but I can't figure out what will. I've
tried server-edit and server-kill-buffer in place of kill-buffer below and they
also haven't worked. The buffer gets "pushed to the kill buffer", but remains
loaded.
The problem with having buffer remain loaded is when I redo the command-line
call after editing the org file outside of emacs it prompts user for whether to
reload changed file. One option would be to simply disable that prompt, I
guess, but I'd rather be able to clear the buffer.
Here's the function I'm calling:
----------------------------------
(defun vimorg-export-publish (fname exp-function)
(find-file fname)
(funcall exp-function nil)
(kill-buffer) )
---------------------------------
And here's sample command line that calls it. Strange characters are because
it's on Windows system, but it works fine other than that the buffer is not
unloaded at end of vimorg-export-publish function:
-----------------------------
c:\users\herbert\emacsclientw.exe --eval ^"(vimorg-export-publish
\^"~/myorgfile.org\^" 'org-export-as-html-and-open )^"
------------------------------
Thanks for any tips.

I tried this in *scratch* and it works fine:
(defun test-kill-buffer (fname)
(find-file fname)
(kill-buffer))
C-x C-e
(test-kill-buffer "/tmp/abc.txt")
C-x C-e
Repeat the steps and leave out the "(kill-buffer)" and the file
/tmp/abc.txt remains in emacs.

So it must be something with (funcall exp-function) or exp-function,
which prevents unloading `fname'.
Maybe org-export-as-html-and-open changes buffers. So, I guess either a
save-excursion around (funcall ...) or:
(defun test-kill-buffer (fname exp-function)
(let ((buf (find-file fname)))
(funcall exp-function)
(kill-buffer buf)))
(test-kill-buffer "/tmp/abc.txt" 'some-function-to-call)
will do the trick.
