Hi, I recently got this message after starting Emacs daemon:

 non-existent file ~/some/repo/index.org.. [R]emove from list or [A]bort?

1. It wasn't clear to me who issued this message; I thought it would
be recentf or tramp rather than org-mode. Maybe the message could give
some hint about the agenda: „non-existent agenda file …“

2. This question prevented emacs --daemon from starting
non-interactively; that's not nice. I think this minor question
shouldn't block emacs' startup. Maybe via (3.)

3. I don't mind if an agenda file doesn't exist. I have a different
set of .org files in each computer, and my org-agenda-files is a
superset of all. I would prefer a preference to request all
non-existing agenda files to be ignored.


Thanks
-- Daniel

I've made this change.

Hi Daniel,

I think the real mistake here is that you call org-agenda,
or maybe `org-agenda-to-appt' from .emacs, also in the case when
you are only starting the daemon.  Any such operaions should
be avoided in the daemon, I think.

Silently ignoring non-existing files on the agenda list does
not seem a good idea to me.  If you want to do this, you can do it lke  
this:


(eval-after-load "org"
   (setq org-agenda-files
         (delq nil (mapcar (if (file-exists-p file)
                               file)
                           org-agenda-files))))

Make sure this runs after ou custom-file has been loaded.
(setq org-agenda-files (mapcar (if (file-exists-p file) file)

But why did you get this error?
Maybe you were setting manually all the agenda files?
Because I have a setting like this

(setq org-agenda-files (directory-files "~/org/" t ".org$" t))

And I never had problems..

  Yes, I set some agenda files by hand because some live in very
different directories. Some are used only eventually and therefore I
don't have them at each computer; my .emacs is however the same.

  I used a code to check all my agenda files lists in order to remove
the files which don't exist in the current computer.

And it has been implemented since then:

(setq org-agenda-skip-unavailable-files t)

The reason why you have to press "c" several times is because you are  
making an agenda with several days, or several blocks.

!Wow!
Looks like it's in the version (6.35g) I am already using. :-/ :-)
And I was going to share my other defadvice that I crafted yesterday. Ha ha.

Thank you very much,
