Hello and nice for you to write that script. Thanks.
I though have a problem when I use the https protocol. I have problem in authentication with the v.m server. I use a self signed .pem file, I have stored it locally to the phone but the problem persist. Have any hint about it?

Hey, thanks for the excellent script. Works flawlessly.

konnnGit: Follow instructions here http://askubuntu.com/questions/591866/how-can-contacts-and-calendars-be-synchronised to add self signed SSL cert to ubuntu touch.

are you sur it's dayly and not daily ? L36

Hi, the script does not work with my value CALENDAR_DB_NAME= "Calendar-Owncloud"
on line 82, it says syncevolution --create-database backend=evolution-calendar database=$CALENDAR_NAME of this should not be rather $CALENDAR_DB_NAME ?
