Subject: org-batch-agenda lock problem
Date: Tue, 9 Jun 2009 20:40:26 +1000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1D7BAF3A-23E5-4FFD-B1BB-A65E7BC53E72@gmail.com> (raw)

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

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
