Hi,
I’m setting up the autoscheduler on my SATNOGS station and would like to know if there is a way to insert remarks on autoscheduler’s priorities text file in order to know to what satellite and transmitter each line refers to?, this would be very handy when adding and removing satellites and transmitters on the file.
Thanks & Regards de Xe3adc, Abraham.

Although there were no errors during the process there were no additional observation scheduled on my satnogs station:

Afterwards I ran the auto-scheduler with the same file with no remarks and same parameters obtaining 12 additional observations scheduled as follows:

Thanks for sharing your experience, so this doesn’t seem to work, then we will need the developer to add this option. If I am correct the is @kerel
I’ve tried this in the past as well and encountered the same result as @ xe3adc.That is, no error but nothing gets scheduled until the comment is removed.

Thanks Kerel,
I have tested the latest update and worked like a charm, can others also update and share there experience.

Hi, many thanks, that was fast…
Just two questions:
1-What is the correct procedure to update?, I’m using ubuntu 18.04 lts,
will the following commands work:
cd satnogs-auto-scheduler
git pull origin master
Is there something else to do?
2-To launch auto-scheduler, should I use the same CLI command as before with the priorities.txt file commented as shown in past messages?
best regards, Abraham - xe3adc
Good day Abraham,
I used to development fork that was created by @kerel but now with all the code merged a git pull should be enough. All the commands stayed the same.
After removing observation and then adding remarks to my priority file and re run the schedular I found that the observations where created again.
Maybe @kerel can add something to the README file on the repository on how remarks can be used.
All the best Jan - PE0SAT
Hello Jan,
Many thanks for your support…!!
I updated the auto-scheduler as you suggested without any problems, afterwards I obtained observations correctly scheduled using the auto-scheduler with the commented priorities file.
Also many thanks to @kerel for the expedite response.
Best regards, Abraham - xe3adc
