I currently have it set up with the following in my .bash_profile: emacs --batch --no-init-file -q -l ~/.emacs.slim --eval "(progn (org-agenda-list) (princ (buffer-string)))" 2> /dev/null Where ~/.emacs.slim is a very small init file which essentially just loads org-mode and sets the agenda alist. This works great, but I have a few qualms: 1) Is there any way to just load the agenda part of org-mode? The current exec time of the line above is around 1s, compared to about .1s for remind. If not, are there any other tricks to reduce emacs startup time? If not, I will probably just write an org-agenda clone in some other language to reduce the overhead. 2) Can I change the format of the Deadline lines to be more obvious by adding **** Deadline: xxx ****, but *only* in the .emacs.slim executed version? princ doesn't print in color, so I have to scan through to see whether something is a deadline or a scheduled item. Thanks! nick
