Re: programatically generate an agenda

[John Kitchin <jkitchin@andrew.cmu.edu>]

If it is possible to set up what you want in an entry in
org-agenda-custom-commands, then you can call it in a program like


#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
(org-agenda nil "w" nil)
#+END_SRC

In that snippet, I have the key in an org-agenda-custom-commands set to
"w".

that generates an agenda buffer for me, which I assume you can then use
the org-agenda-write command on.
