You can probably use run-with-timer or run-with-idle-timer to do things like this, but I'm with Detlef Steuer: pressing 'g' in the agenda to refresh it is simple and does not consume any extra resources - you do it when you need to and it's done. I just find the idea of running a timer in order to update a time line in the agenda every once in a while somewhat distasteful, but maybe it's just me. OTOH, I'm being somewhat hypocritical here because I run two visible clocks: one in the gnome panel and one in the emacs mode line with display-time. Having three of them however is clearly overkill :-) Nick _______________________________________________ Emacs-orgmode mailing list Please use `Reply All' to send replies to the list.
