calendar syncing

i've been enamored, of late, of GCALDaemon for syncing multiple calendars across evolution (on my lenovo x60t), ical (on my 12" g4 mac laptop), google and .mac -- whew. this was a bit of a pain, til i discovered GCALD...

in any case, i added a small wrinkle on my linux box. once you have successfully run the .sync_now script

write a small script in the /etc/cron.daily subdirectory, by:

# vi /etc/cron.daily/evo_google_sync

for the script -- type:

#!/bin/bash

/etc/sbin/GCALDaemon/bin/sync_now.sh

don't forget to chmod...

chmod 755 /etc/cron.daily/evo_google_sync

then... you have a script that will automatically sync your evolution calendar with your google calendar(s). i prefer this to the GCALD... notebook configuration, which polls the network every 10 min (or whatever you the setting of your file.polling.google property).
