exporting agenda views whenever starting a view

exporting agenda views whenever starting a view

[Rainer Stengele]

I wonder if it would be possible to trigger an agenda auto export (by 
customising the filename in org-agenda-custom-commands) as soon as I 
call the agenda view and not only when starting an extra  "C-c a e"?

Of course this would take 2 seconds to generate the file and show the 
view whenever I start the view. This way I would be sure to always have 
the latest contents in my exported file which I could take away 
automatically synchronised in my Palm.

I believe this is a bad idea:

1. the time delay will be annoying
2. You still need to make the view before it will be up-to-date for
    your palm export.

A cronjob like described in section 9.6.4 of the manual will do
much better services.
