Hello,
I am trying to automatically extract the todo's from my orgmode files and
format them for display via a widget on my desktop.
The following command works fine with no errors when executed in a terminal
emacs -batch -l ~/.emacs -eval '(org-batch-agenda-csv "a")'
However when I setup the same command to run every 15 minutes via crontab I
get the following error message
*--[ Loading my Emacs init file ]--
Cannot open load file: package
Why would it work fine in the terminal but not when executed via a crontab
entry?
Thanks

Maybe cron does not expand ~? Try $HOME/.emacs or ${HOME}/.emacs instead.
