I am a recent convert to org-mode, and the ability to export the agenda is very useful. Currently I have a script that runs every 10 seconds or so that calls:

emacs -batch -l ~/.emacs -eval '(org-batch-agenda "a" org-agenda- ndays 1)' 2>/dev/null

The following may or may not work, depending on what happens in non- interactive emacs sessions when a lock is encountered. Maybe this would work?

emacs -batch -l ~/.emacs -eval '(progn (defun ask-user-about-lock (&rest args) nil) (org-batch-agenda "a" org-agenda-ndays 1))' 2>/dev/ null

Simple enough solution, thanks. I think it's a bit weird that it is encountering the lock, but I suppose getting rid of the confirmation is the easiest step for a completely non-interactive session.

Thanks,

or

emacs -batch -l ~/.emacs -eval '(progn (defun file-locked-p (&rest args) nil) (org-batch-agenda "a" org-agenda-ndays 1))' 2>/dev/null


These are bad hacks, but should be OK sice creating an agenda should not modify any file buffers...

In order to put the agenda items on my desktop. This works fine, until I start to edit the org file. From what I have gathered, this causes a lock to be placed, and org-batch-agenda has a collision with this lock, resulting in no output because it's trying to output the message about resolving the collision. Obviously this isn't very useful, so I was wondering why org-batch-agenda would have to modify the file, or possibly the easiest way to resolve this (I'm not amazing with Emacs).

Thanks,
Angus
