Command line tricks

Command line tricks

[Russell Adams]

I've recently started using a few command line options with Org I
thought I'd share, perhaps they'll inspire someone else.

In my ~/.bashrc, I have defined an alias for Org that runs:

emacs -nw --funcall org-agenda-list

Which pulls up Org in the agenda view, which is where I wanted to be
in the first place!

I'm working away at latex, and I've divided up some of my files in
Org, and got tired to manually triggering the export to latex.

Instead now I have a makefile which runs:

emacs --eval '(setq enable-local-variables :all)' \
	  filename.org \
	  -f org-export-as-latex \
	  -f save-buffers-kill-emacs

This opens my Org file, exports it to latex, and quits. I'm very
pleased with the result, because the makefile next calls pdflatex to
PDF my document. The local variables override is because I set some
custom headers in the documents.

Enjoy!

Awesome stuff Russell.  Thanks for sharing.

Thanks for sharing that!

alias todo="$EMACS -nw --funcall org-agenda-list"

And to not miss anything there is a cronjob:

$EMACS --batch \
    --load $HOME/.emacs.d/init.el \
    --load $HOME/.emacs.d/.gnus \
    --funcall org-mail >& $LOGFILE

Cheers,

Patrick

Great!



...and here is a little snippet, showing how I reuse files in several
projects:

        ("TWO-inherit"
         :base-directory "~/path/ONE/"
         :recursive t
         :base-extension "css\\|js"
         :publishing-directory "~/path/TWO/"
         :publishing-function org-publish-attachment)

        ("project-TWO-notes"
         :base-directory "~/path/TWO/"
         :auto-index t
         :index-filename "sitemap.org"
         :index-title "Sitemap"
         :recursive t
         :base-extension "org"
         :publishing-directory "~/htdocs/TWO/"
         :publishing-function org-publish-org-to-html
         :headline-levels 3
         :auto-preamble t
         )

         ; ... etc. pp. ...

        ("project-TWO" :components ("TWO-inherit" "TWO-notes" "..."))



With this setup I only have to edit the *.css and *.js files in project
ONE, since TWO-inherit imports them.



If you use timestamps for publishing, it even works the other way around
too:

        ("ONE-inherit "
         :base-directory "~/path/TWO/"
         :recursive t
         :base-extension "css\\|js"
         :publishing-directory "~/path/ONE/"
         :publishing-function org-publish-attachment)



Now it doesn't matter anymore which stylesheet you change.

:-)

Hmm - is there any way to get the same functionality with emacsclient ? 

I'd like to be able to set up a shell alias to pull up a new frame or
reuse the current one with the agenda listing in (and of course, to do
other cool stuff).

I have tried  

  /usr/bin/emacsclient.emacs-snapshot -f org-agenda-list

but it turns out -f isn't supported by emacsclient.

Pete

BTW - any of you using gnome-do ?  It is apparently based on
quicksilver. Because it remembers common keystrokes, if you regularly
use a particular command, say a bash script 'agenda', then running
something like

<super><space>ag

will run the shell script for you from anywhere. It is pretty cool. See

how about: emacsclient -e "(org-agenda-list)" 

or: gnuclient -f org-agenda-list
