Hi, Philip

Thank you for the quick response.

Actually, I follow the below blog 
https://pragmaticemacs.wordpress.com/2017/01/09/how-i-view-my-google-calendar-agenda-in-emacs/
to view my google calendar agenda in Emacs.

My cron updates google calendar's agenda to a local file every minute, and I 
use the above “open-gcal-agenda" command to show the agenda in a buffer(the 
buffer will open with name "gcal")
What I want to do is, when the local file is updated by cron, I need Emacs 
automatically execute "open-gcal-agenda" to update the "gcal" agenda buffer.


Thank you.
