Hi,

Does anyone know how I can trigger a manual MfE sync from the command line? I'd like to have a script that (a) initiates a VPN connection, (b) syncs MfE, and then (c) disconnects the VPN connection.

Cheers

Robert

actually in addition to the sleep is the odity that vpnc needs to be run as root while the mfe sync needs to be run as user! just looking for the right combination of setuid for this to work perfectly!

Works like a charm. I was just poking my head of a way to keep my calendar synced and not being forced to stay online all the time through WIFI/GPRS. This manual sync invoking (scheduled every hour) with combination with autodisconnect seems to be the perfect fit for me

Would you be so kind to share that script with us who cannot make such scripts by itself?

This is great, coupled with alarmed, I now have much better control of mfe syncing schedules.

P.S. (edited in) I had to use very primitive cron strings in Alarmed as it does not seem that the #/# or #-# formats for cron are supported by the N900. I had to spell out every five minute interval I wanted to synch mfe along with every hour separated by commas, oh well, it works. Did I Miss something?

Is there a way to check if the sync has completed. . .

based on network connection and sync size this could take a while and I really wanted to check if it has completed!

also is there a way to check if a current network connection is established?

cheers
