Why does the script not run when the hash text file is created?

[radianrad]

The text file that is created upon successfully finding a sooner time prevent the script from running again. Is this only if it's the same appointments?

goes-notify/goes-notify.py

Lines 129 to 132 in 85fcf98

	hash = hashlib.md5(''.join(dates) + current_apt.strftime('%B %d, %Y @ %I:%M%p')).hexdigest()
	fn = "goes-notify_{0}.txt".format(hash)
	if settings.get('no_spamming') and os.path.exists(fn):
	return

This prevents additional notifications when the same available dates are found.

It basically takes all of the "better" available dates and your current interview date (which you set in the config file) and creates a unique hash code. If any of those items changes on subsequent runs, you will get notified (assuming the available dates are better than your current interview date).

Does that make sense?

Makes total sense! Neat solution.

Thanks!
