Re: gcalcli - commandline for google calendar



Tony.
No, I hadn't set up dual-verification but I do now :) But I still cant log on to it, so I've written to the gcalcli mailing list and hope for a reply from them, crossed fingers!

For the record, I DO use gcalcli,
and I did generate an app-specific password.
I don't have a .gcalclirc file,
but have just scripted a number of things I use it for,
such as

#!/bin/bash
# google cal agenda with gcalcli
echo "Enter event (MM/DD HH:MM sometext here) : "
read event
gcalcli --user mygmailusername@gmail.com --pw APPSPECIFICPASSWORDHERE quick "$event"
exit

or

#!/bin/bash
# google cal agenda with gcalcli
if [ $1 ]; then
        gcalcli --user mygmail@gmail.com --pw APPSPECIFICPW calw 1 $1
else
        gcalcli --user mygmail@gmail.com --pw APPSECIFICPW calw
fi
exit

works great.

NOTE: I'm using it on Squeeze, not Wheezy.
