Re: [O] regenerating agendas automatically if any .org files change

I think that that would also work. I will just have to disable emacs-server.

 I assume an agenda view with multiple blocks would work for OP.

 But given his intended use could he not also just start up several independent
 Emacs instances on his B machine, each to show a different agenda view?

Okay, I will give custom agenda blocks a try. Thanks for the help. I
really appreciate it.

 Excellent. Thanks for the pointer. So, just to clarify, is it possible
 to have multiple simultaneous agenda views? I think it would be really
 cool to have my calendar and to-do-list and maybe another custom
 agenda view all dynamically refreshed every few minutes, just sitting
 on my second monitor. Then, as I add appointments, tasks, etc., they
 all start showing up.

 How can I make this happen? My lisp skills still introductory. I can
 modify lisp code, but I haven't really written my own from scratch
 yet.

[O] regenerating agendas automatically if any .org files change

2011-11-10 Thread Stephen J. Barr
Hello,

First of all, thank you for a wonderful mode and a wonderful mailing
list. This is my first posting. I have the following idea for a
workflow, and I am not sure if there is already functionality to do
this: I keep all my .org files in a Dropbox. On my desk I have my main
workstation A and a slow workstation B. Both A and B are synced to
Dropbox. Throughout the day, as I work with org-mode using workstation
A, I would like B to simply regenerate 3 different agenda views
whenever the .org files on Dropbox change. This would really add to
the functionality of workstation B. Is there any built-in
functionality to do this?

Thanks,
-stephen
