However, the connection between the appointments and the notification system does not happen until I visit the agenda with, for example, "C-c a a", which I sometimes forget to invoke and I end up missing appointments. Trying to automate I created a short cut like this: emacs -f org-agenda-list my-main-org-file However, this seems to execute org-agenda-list before my-main-org-file has fully opened in its own buffer and I end up with the window split into two buffers: top one scratch and bottom one my-main-org-file, which is visually very annoying. It is completely mysterious to me the timing at which different actions take place within emacs and how to control and sequence them, like a 'wait' call. Is there a way to automatically execute org-agenda-list after my-main-org-file has fully finished opening in its buffer? Is it there some more streamlined way to connect agenda to notifications such that I would not need to explicitly enable them every time I open the file? thanks, Rodrigo
