has a new version that enables command line support for synchronizing specific google calenders.
That then Alarmed would have the same kind of integration with it so it is very easy to create sync intervals with a goolge calendar through Erminig-NG by using alarmed
When there already is command line support why not just putting this command line in a command execution entry? Not everything should be implemented as a builtin command. I'd say, these should be rather complicated or at least very common tasks.

In the end it also may be more usable having a bunch of shell scripts each one for a special task, which can then be called by any widget or app that is able to call a script. DCE, alarmed or even a self created desktop file could invoke the script and perform the task.

Flexibility rules!
