it's quite a hack. I don't want Org to evaluate source code blocks
without confirmation. This could lead to all sorts of trouble. On the
other hand, there are a few source code blocks, that I want to eval
without confirmation. So I use this:


(defun hmw/org-post-publish-export-confirm-evaluate (lang body)
  (not (string-match "^#post publish exporter" body)))
  
(setq org-confirm-babel-evaluate 'hmw/org-post-publish-export-confirm-evaluate)

A source code block looks like follows:

#+BEGIN_SRC shell :exports results :shebang #!/bin/sh :var SRCDIR=(expand-file-name (plist-get plist :base-directory)) :var DESTDIR=(expand-file-name (plist-get plist :publishing-directory))
#post publish exporter
(
echo "Starting esxwithforeman.org $(date)"

cd ${SRCDIR}
....
echo "Finish esxwithforeman.org $(date)"
) >> /tmp/c0t0d0s0_publish.log 2>&1
#+END_SRC

As you can see, this is not a security feature, esp. now that I
published it ;).
