Re: [Orgmode] Remind functionality?
Hi, could you paste the commands that you used to export the agenda to a file? (cron job, Emacs invocation, Lisp code to open the agenda) A Worg section explaining this setup would be useful; for instance in org-hacks.org (http://orgmode.org/worg/org-hacks.php) Thanks, Daniel ___ Emacs-orgmode mailing list Remember: use `Reply All' to send replies to the list.

Re: [Orgmode] Remind functionality?
Hi Nicolas,
how about using a control file like this(untested):
agenda_control_files=~/.emacs.d/agenda_on_login
todays_agenda_file=${agenda_control_files}/$(date -I)
if [ -f $todays_agenda_file ]; then
echo Agenda was shown on a previous login today.
# You could also `cat' the control file here, if you manage it
# somehow, that it contains your agenda's contents (your elisp should
# export the agenda to the controle file then. Also, you should
# adjust the `else' below to use `cat'.
else
rm $agenda_control_files/*# rmove yesterdays control file
touch ~/.emacs.d/agenda-check-$(date -I) # or fill with agenda export
// Enter your function here
fi
Regards,
Sebastian

No, this is not possible. The only handle you have is the variable
org-agenda-deadline-leaders, maybe you can do something with this.
Thanks, I will look into it.
Thank you for the prompt reply!

[Orgmode] Remind functionality?
Hi, I am attempting to use org-mode as a replacement for remind. I currently have it set up with the following in my .bash_profile: emacs --batch --no-init-file -q -l ~/.emacs.slim --eval (progn (org-agenda-list) (princ (buffer-string))) 2 /dev/null Where ~/.emacs.slim is a very small init file which essentially just loads org-mode and sets the agenda alist. This works great, but I have a few qualms: 1) Is there any way to just load the agenda part of org-mode? The current exec time of the line above is around 1s, compared to about .1s for remind. If not, are there any other tricks to reduce emacs startup time? If not, I will probably just write an org-agenda clone in some other language to reduce the overhead. 2) Can I change the format of the Deadline lines to be more obvious by adding Deadline: xxx , but *only* in the .emacs.slim executed version? princ doesn't print in color, so I have to scan through to see whether something is a deadline or a scheduled item.
