Hi again all

so i have a related ques= tion so ill continue in this thread. i have been using this command succesf= ully in the last few weeks

(defun z/export-to= -ics ()
(interactive)
(rename-file (or= g-icalendar-export-to-ics)
"/home/zeltak/org/files/expo= rt/kcal.ics")
(message "exported to ics"))


this forces me to first open = the file i want (meetings= .org) and then launch the above command. is there a way to auto make th= e above function to auto export meeting.org each time without opening it first?

thx

This means the code will only execute if the current buffer is
"= meetings.org" when it executes. That _is_ what you want when you s= ave
meetin= gs.org, but it _is not_ what you want when the timer executes.

Break out the body of the `when' form into its own function, and call that function from the timer, instead of `z/save-meeting-to-ics'.

For this, you need to add `z/save-meeting-to-ics' to the Emacs g= lobal
variable `after-save-hook' using function `add-hook'.

You mean 1800 seconds, I think.
