Hi,

I don't know if this would help, but I export an Org buffer every time it is saved. On OS X, I have a LaunchAgent that watches the file:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">
<plist version="1.0">
<dict>
	<key>Label</key>
	<string>com.kenmankoff.org2ical</string>
	<key>ProgramArguments</key>
	<array>
	<string>/Users/mankoff/bin/org2ical.sh</string>
	</array>
	<key>WatchPaths</key>
	<array>
  		<string>/Users/mankoff/Documents/Org/events.org</string>
	</array>
</dict>
</plist>

And then the shell script that is executed:


/Applications/Emacs.app/Contents/MacOS/Emacs --batch --directory=~/Documents/Org  --visit=~/Documents/Org/events.org --eval '(progn (setq org-agenda-default-appointment-duration 1) (org-icalendar-export-to-ics))'


  -k.
