How can I show the Org-mode agenda on Emacs start-up?

I would like the Org-mode agenda to automatically show what I have to do today when I open Emacs. The org-agenda command is interactive, so it doesn't seem to work well for this purpose.

Is there a way to show the Org-mode agenda on Emacs start-up?

Thanks,

Conor

You can use after-init-hook to run a piece of code after initialization has finished. To run (org-agenda-list) after init, use:

(add-hook 'after-init-hook 'org-agenda-list)

Try (org-agenda-list). If you just want today, (org-agenda-list 1).

And of course, apropos is your friend. C-h C-a org-agenda (or whatever command) will show you useful info on that command.

I have a bash alias to start emacs with the Agenda open:

alias org='/usr/bin/emacs --funcall org-agenda-list &'

Enjoy.

It is not exactly at startup, but I keep Emacs running so I need a different approach

(require 'midnight)
(midnight-delay-set 'midnight-delay "7:30am")
(add-hook 'midnight-hook 'org-agenda-list)
