Hello,
I have cron set up to send me an email with my org calendar each morning
as follows:
/usr/local/bin/emacs --batch -l ~/.emacs --eval '(org-batch-agenda "a"
org-agenda-span (quote day))'
It works fine unless Gnus starts running. When that happens, bbdb is
taken by Gnus and then the emacs --batch gets stuck because it wants to
know if emacs should steal the bbdb file.
I use diary in org. I am not sure if there is a way to not use bbdb file
and still use diary? Is there a way to make stealing the bbdb file the
default for emacs upon start-up?
Thanks, Aric

I've had the same problem, and I found it a little hard to find the
right thing in the source code, so maybe this helps: I think what you
want is "(setq create-lockfiles nil)", which doesn't steal the
lockfile but ignores it; if you need to make sure it's stolen, try
overriding `ask-user-about-lock'. Of course, file locking is there for
a reason, so I strongly suggest making sure your bbdb is being backed
up regularly before trying this.
