We've got that. A command line Google Latitude update that you can automate via the alarmed program. Latitude update scripts were first posted by MasterZap on page 17 of the following forum:

Here are the instructions. If you like it, you can install alarmed from your application manager and set it to execute the latitude script at the desired intervals.

#1 install the google latitude python API. This is basically done by:

#1.1 Downloading it from the link:
http://code.google.com/p/google-api-...downloads/list

#1.2 Unzipping it to somewhere (doesn't matter, next step copies it to where it "should go")

#1.3 doing "python setup.py install" in that directory

#1.4 I think you can now delete the directory/file you downloaded, since step 1.3 copied files to some magical place in python package heaven

#2 make sure python-location is installed (If not, do "apt-get install python-location" but mine was already installed)

#3 Create /home/user/latitude and put my version of the script in it

#4 Run it once first to do the authorization magic. It will ask you to go to a link which you (unfortunately) have to cut-n-paste into your webbrowser

#5 Once done, the script should run. You can either sun it as is with "python zaps-latitude-updater.py", or put it into alarmed to be run e.g. every 15 minutes with the "--once" option, so it updates once and just exit, i.e. you can put in "python /home/user/latitude/zaps-latitude-updater.py --once" into AlarmeD
