I have the following function defined in emacs – 

(defun web2py-server ()
 (interactive)
 (shell-command "cd /opt/web2py; python /opt/web2py/web2py.py &"))

The above creates a new buffer in emacs, how do set a name “abc” for the window.

Thanks,
Murtaza

    Use shell-command‘s second parameter, OUPTUT-BUFFER, for that:

    (defun web2py-server ()
 (interactive)
 (shell-command "cd /opt/web2py; python /opt/web2py/web2py.py &"
                (get-buffer-create "abc")))
