how to make org-clock-in close the files it opens

how to make org-clock-in close the files it opens

[Julian Burgos]

Dear list,

When using org-clock-in, all files in my agenda list are opened.  This
makes sense, as org mode is looking for clocks already opened.  But it
is possible to make org mode to close all these files?  I do keep lots
of files in my agenda, and it is a pain to have to close them by hand.
Many thanks,

Julian

I was going to suggest M-x org-agenda-exit, but that does not work
because neither org-resolve-clocks nor org-find-open-clocks add the
files they open to org-agenda-new-buffers. 

As a workaround you could feed a list of files to org-release-buffers.

Might I ask why you would like to close your agenda files? They will be
reopened when you call the agenda.

Best,
Matt
