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>/dev/
null
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...
