have you put Google_Drive/bin/ in your $PATH as per the README?

[Jeff Alstott]

Yes. That is where all my custom scripts reside. Why do you think it's
called /bin? :)

yeah? show us echo $PATH and which track, and also ls -l Google_Drive/bin/

[Jeff Alstott]

Macintosh-9:Google_Drive jeff$ which track
(No output)

Macintosh-9:~ jeff$ ls -l Google_Drive/bin

do this:

cd
cd Google_Drive/bin
rm track untrack
ln -s ~/Glock/googlecal_functional.py track
ln -s ~/Glock/googlecal_functional.py untrack

and try again.

My hypotheses: the problem is you didn't give the correct path to googlecal_functional.py when you made the links. Symbolic links are made from a particular string, not the location that string happens to denote, so if the string denotes a different (e.g. non-existent) location is another context things will fail.

[Jeff Alstott]

Good idea. However, I tried it and it didn't change.

Macintosh-9:~ jeff$ which track
Macintosh-9:~ jeff$ ls -l Google_Drive/bin

lrwxr-xr-x  1 jeff  staff    41 Oct 17 07:29 track ->

There's even this:

Macintosh-9:bin jeff$ sudo chmod +x track untrack

Macintosh-9:bin jeff$ ls
bee clock fw track untrack
Macintosh-9:bin jeff$ track "test"
-bash: track: command not found

What is the output of

file ~/Google_Drive/bin/track

?

[Jeff Alstott]

D'oh! I was blindly putting in ln commands without thinking about where the
Glock directory actually was. Now the linking works.

However, I'm now tracking and untracking things, without any request for
authorization, etc. I suspect I'm actually tracking things on one of the
developer's calendars.

@linbug: close this issue. It turned out not to be a Glock fault :)
@jeffalstott: open another one if necessary, or email me.
