I start emacs server using

emacs --daemon

then open files using

emacsclient filename.ext

but the first file has to be opened using

emacsclient -c filename.ext

in order to create a new frame which can be later used by subsequent files without using -c command line flag for emacsclient.

I want to automate this. "if there is no emacs frame, emacsclient should create a frame else it should use the current frame". How can it be done?
