Well, that might be *a* problem, but it's not *the* problem. This produces the same results: ,--- | emacs --batch -l ~/.emacs --eval '(find-file-read-only "~/org/*.org" t)' \ | --eval '(org-batch-agenda "e")' > ~/org/aux/agenda-export.txt `--- I get this from the command line: ,--- | ...~/org/rigor.org locked by jwhendy... (pid 10935): (s, q, p, ?)? `--- Which means that when executed from cron, it won't proceed. Also, good to know re. the man pages... however Worg is wrong, then. Directly from Worg [1]: ,---------- | Let's say you generate an export from the command line, such as the following: | ,--- | | emacs -batch -l ~/.emacs -eval '(org-batch-agenda "e")' | `--- | | or | | ,--- | |emacs -batch -l ~/.emacs -eval '(org-publish-all)' | `--- `---------- The manual contains the same syntax.
