Hello all,

This morning I clone the repo “satnogs-auto-scheduler” in order to schedule new observations.
I followed the instructions in README.md file and i was able to test it.
As you can see the following log.

However I am not able to schedule futures observations via crontab. Here is error log

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "./schedule_single_station.py", line 9, in <module>
    import settings
  File "/home/seb/Documents/codings/SATNOGS/satnogs-auto-scheduler/settings.py", line 4, in <module>
    from decouple import config
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'decouple'

How can I fix this issue ?

Thanks in advance

This might be a different issue.

If you followed the description in README: Dependencies, you have to use the Python interpreter from your virtual environment at <path_to_auto_scheduler>/env/bin/python, so the crontab looks like this:

0 */1 * * * <path_to_auto_scheduler>/env/bin/python <path_to_auto_scheduler>/schedule_single_station.py -s <station_id> -d 1.2 -P <path_to_priority_list>/<priority_file>.txt -f -z

I’ll update the README to reflect this.

Thank you very much. Your solution solve my problem.
