Unable to get a timer to start

[rebelzach]

For what its worth, here is a bug I ran into and my steps to resolve

I noticed that glass was no longer inserting time into my commits. When running glass status I received No timer appears to be running for '/Users/...': Daemon doesn't appears to be running.

I ran glass start and got the timer started message. However glass status yielded the same error. glass stop had no effect either

When I tried to start the daemon manually I received It appears another Daemon is already running or a previous instance didn't shutdown properly, use -force to force start.

running glass-daemon -force and then terminating seems to have corrected the issue.

Thanks for reporting, I ran into the issue myself and it will be fixed after pull request #35 is merged and released. It seems to occur when the daemon somehow didn't shutdown gracefully.

The correct way to fix it in the meantime is to restart the daemon manually using the -force flag as you mentioned.

Fixed in v0.5.2, check it out!
