batch printing of diary/agenda without Scheduled items

batch printing of diary/agenda without Scheduled items

[pete phillips]

Hi

I want to print out my agenda to share/email to colleagues - entries
from the diary file and normal dates associated with things in angled
brackets eg: <2007-10-01 10:30>

However, I don't want any Scheduled items to appear (as these are not
appointments/dates as such).

I currently use this:

 /usr/bin/emacs-snapshot -batch -l ~/.xemacs/init.el -eval "(setq european-calendar-style nil diary-mail-days 7 diary-file
 \"/home/pete/diary\")"    -eval  '(org-batch-agenda "a"  org-agenda-files (quote ("~/TODO/HOME.org" "~/TODO/SMTL.org")))' 

but it prints the Scheduled dates as well.

What magic incantation do I need to add ? 

Cheers,
Pete

I think the right way is to add a custom agenda command:

,----
| (org-add-agenda-custom-command
|      '(("X" agenda ""
|        ((org-agenda-skip-function
| 	(lambda() (org-agenda-skip-entry-if 'scheduled 'deadline)))))))
`----

Note that this view also skips deadlines. Then call this new "X" agenda
command like this:

,----
| /usr/bin/emacs-snapshot -batch -l ~/.xemacs/init.el -eval \ "(setq european-calendar-style nil diary-mail-days 7 diary-file
| \"/home/pete/diary\")"    -eval  '(org-batch-agenda "X"  org-agenda-files (quote ("~/TODO/HOME.org" "~/TODO/SMTL.org")))'
`----

BTW, I forgot to mention the documentation for this:

Excellent. Thanks for that. I now have a custom shell command which cron
can call, and which shows me deadlines but not SCHEULED tasks:

-----------print-agenda.sh-------------------------
#!/bin/sh
# print out agenda without scheduled tasks
# relies on creating a custom command on the fly - "X"
# (thanks to Bastien)
/usr/bin/emacs-snapshot -batch -l ~/.xemacs/init.el \
-eval "(setq european-calendar-style nil diary-mail-days 7 diary-file  \"/home/pete/diary\")" \
-eval  "(org-add-agenda-custom-command '(\"X\" agenda \"\" ((org-agenda-skip-function (lambda() (org-agenda-skip-entry-if 'scheduled))))))" \
-eval  '(org-batch-agenda "X"  org-agenda-files (quote ("~/TODO/HOME.org" "~/TODO/SMTL.org")))'
