Hello emacs-orgmode mailing list:
I too would like the ability for org-mode to ignore (silently)
non-existent agenda files. This has been discussed before on the
mailing list [1].
Basically my use case is with Emacs on Windows. I have one Org Agenda
file on removable storage (USB memory), which I want to use from
multiple computers, so sometimes that file is not available. I tried
modifying the org-mode elisp files as shown below. When the
interactive prompt "non-existent file <filename>.. [R]emove from list
or [A]bort?" is shown, I press the "c" key to continue.
---gitk output---
[author/committer is me, but info is redacted]
Parent: 6f3026edf161ae2d721f4ac04ed50fdebb16353d (Release 6.35g)
Continuing loading when agenda org files do not exist temporarily (press c)
--------------------------------- lisp/org.el ---------------------------------
index c89c5ac..89c5d88 100644
@@ -14896,6 +14896,8 @@ Optional argument FILE means use this file
instead of the current."
((equal r ?r)
(org-remove-file file)
(throw 'nextfile t))
+ ((equal r ?c)
+ (throw 'nextfile t))
(t (error "Abort"))))))
(defun org-get-agenda-file-buffer (file)
---gitk output end---
Unfortunately, the above doesn't work correctly. I have to press "c"
multiple times in order to "c"ontinue.
I think the workaround suggested by Carsten Dominik [1], which is to
delete non-existent files from the org-agenda-files variable once,
could work for me if I change it to check the existence of the files
every time. Do you think this can be implemented as an elisp defadvice
on org-agenda<f>? Or is there some better way?

And it has been implemented since then:
(setq org-agenda-skip-unavailable-files t)

The reason why you have to press "c" several times is because you are
making an agenda with several days, or several blocks.

!Wow!
Looks like it's in the version (6.35g) I am already using. :-/ :-)
And I was going to share my other defadvice that I crafted yesterday. Ha ha.
Thank you very much,

Hi, I recently got this message after starting Emacs daemon:
non-existent file ~/some/repo/index.org.. [R]emove from list or [A]bort?
1. It wasn't clear to me who issued this message; I thought it would
be recentf or tramp rather than org-mode. Maybe the message could give
some hint about the agenda: „non-existent agenda file …“
2. This question prevented emacs --daemon from starting
non-interactively; that's not nice. I think this minor question
shouldn't block emacs' startup. Maybe via (3.)
3. I don't mind if an agenda file doesn't exist. I have a different
set of .org files in each computer, and my org-agenda-files is a
superset of all. I would prefer a preference to request all
non-existing agenda files to be ignored.
Thanks

Hi Daniel,
I think the real mistake here is that you call org-agenda,
or maybe `org-agenda-to-appt' from .emacs, also in the case when
you are only starting the daemon. Any such operaions should
be avoided in the daemon, I think.
Silently ignoring non-existing files on the agenda list does
not seem a good idea to me. If you want to do this, you can do it lke
this:
(eval-after-load "org"
(setq org-agenda-files
(delq nil (mapcar (if (file-exists-p file)
file)
org-agenda-files))))
Make sure this runs after ou custom-file has been loaded.
(setq org-agenda-files (mapcar (if (file-exists-p file) file)
