I am a recent convert to org-mode, and the ability to export the

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>/

Simple enough solution, thanks. I think it's a bit weird that it is
encountering the lock,
Not really! A batch session could potentially modify the file, and
Emacs
cannot know in advance that it will not.
I guess a properly constructed batch command would load file contents
into temporary buffers without actually visiting files, but I used the
fast trach to such a command by simply calling the already implemented
commands...
but I suppose getting rid of the confirmation is the easiest step
for a completely non-interactive session.
I think so I might consider doing the even in the batch
commands...... Not sure
though how dangerous this would be....

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
