Hello,
First of all, thank you for a wonderful mode and a wonderful mailing
list. This is my first posting. I have the following idea for a
workflow, and I am not sure if there is already functionality to do
this: I keep all my .org files in a Dropbox. On my desk I have my main
workstation A and a slow workstation B. Both A and B are synced to
Dropbox. Throughout the day, as I work with org-mode using workstation
A, I would like B to simply regenerate 3 different agenda views
whenever the .org files on Dropbox change. This would really add to
the functionality of workstation B. Is there any built-in
functionality to do this?
Thanks,
-stephen

This is documented on our git based community wiki.

Excellent. Thanks for the pointer. So, just to clarify, is it possible
to have multiple simultaneous agenda views? I think it would be really
cool to have my calendar and to-do-list and maybe another custom
agenda view all dynamically refreshed every few minutes, just sitting
on my second monitor. Then, as I add appointments, tasks, etc., they
all start showing up.
How can I make this happen? My lisp skills still introductory. I can
modify lisp code, but I haven't really written my own from scratch
yet.

Hi Stephen,
AFAIK, there can only be one agenda view (an expert correct me, if I'm
wrong). But you can multiple blocks in the agenda. Search for "Office
block agenda" in:
http://orgmode.org/worg/org-tutorials/org-custom-agenda-commands.html
Cheers,
Viktor

Okay, I will give custom agenda blocks a try. Thanks for the help. I
really appreciate it.

I assume an agenda view with multiple blocks would work for OP.
But given his intended use could he not also just start up several independent
Emacs instances on his B machine, each to show a different agenda view?

I think that that would also work. I will just have to disable emacs-server.
