Hi
I use the following bash script via cron to sync with google and revert
the buffer. I also keep my files in git, so there are some git commands
in here too:
#+BEGIN_SRC bash
#update calendar (this runs the awk script)
/home/arun/bin/google-get-calendar
#check if have any local changes, if so commit them
emacsclient -e "(org-save-all-org-buffers)"
git commit -am "automatic update"
# pull and push with rebase
git pull --rebase
git push
# git is synced now => auto-revert buffers
emacsclient -e "(revbufs)"
# export ics file, so that items show up on google
emacs --batch -l ~/.emacs --eval '(defun ask-user-about-lock (file opp)
nil)' -f org-mycal-export
# copy to xxx.xxx.xxx, if ssh-agent knows about the key
if [ -e ~/.sshagent ] ; then
. ~/.sshagent
fi
ssh-add -l |grep "cf:c4:58" && scp -v ~/org/org.ics
xxx.xxx.xxx:public_html/<cryptic-file-name>.ics
#+END_SRC
and the export is handled by:
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
;;; org -> google export via .ics
(setq org-icalendar-use-UTC-date-time nil)
(setq org-icalendar-timezone "America/Los_Angeles")
(defun org-mycal-export-limit ()
"Limit the export to items that have a date, time and a range. Also
exclude certain categories."
(setq org-tst-regexp "<\\([0-9]\\{4\\}-[0-9]\\{2\\}-[0-9]\\{2\\} ...
[0-9]\\{2\\}:[0-9]\\{2\\}[^\r\n>]*?\\)>")
(setq org-tstr-regexp (concat org-tst-regexp "--?-?" org-tst-regexp))
(save-excursion
; get categories
(setq mycategory (org-get-category))
; get start and end of tree
