The usual method is to run a separate emacs in batch mode: that will avoid any conflicts
with the running instance. But batch implies -q, so you will have to provide a minimal .emacs
file that sets up enough structure to enable you to do what you want:
emacs --batch -l ~/minimal.emacs \
--eval '(let ((org-confirm-babel-evaluate nil))
(find-file "macports.org")
(org-export-as-html 3))'
should do it.
minimal.emacs would just load org - modulo path differences, something like:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
;;; -*- mode: emacs-lisp -*-
;;; constant part
(add-to-list 'load-path (expand-file-name "~/src/emacs/org/org-mode/lisp"))
(add-to-list 'load-path (expand-file-name "~/src/emacs/org/org-mode/contrib/lisp"))
(add-to-list 'auto-mode-alist '("\\.\\(org\\|org_archive\\|txt\\)$" . org-mode))
(require 'org-install)
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
Also note the let bind of org-confirm-babel-evaluate: that would alleviate the
second problem you mentioned above in the emacsclient case (and although it's
irrelevant in the emacs case, I still prefer the let bind over the explicit setq).
HTH,
Nick
