Another thing: I'm considering setting the commit cron job to every
hour. So, every hour I would have a fresh copy of org pushed to my
dropbox volume.
I forgot to share the commit.sh (I don't usually program in bash, so
bear with me :)):
1 DAYW=$(date | cut -d" " -f 1)
2 NOW=$(date +"%d-%m-%Y-%r")
3
4 cd ~/org
5 git add .
6 git commit -a -m "$DAYW-$NOW"
7 git push
Cheers,
Marcelo.
