The message flag isn't working !

(dev)makala@aneesh:~/test/ping/ping-me$ ping-me -d December-16-2015 -t 15:20 Get up and eat!
Message is  
Time is  ['15:20', 'Get', 'up', 'and', 'eat!']
Traceback (most recent call last):

ValueError: Unknown string format

I printed the args.message and args.TIME to the console to debug. I think the argparser argument for message has to be corrected. Cheers! Really like your project idea.

What about?

ping-me Get up and eat -d December-16-2015 -t 15:20

-d and -t are just optional arguments so, that's why the message needs to go just after ping-me to.

[OrkoHunter]

Also, while using exclamation mark, you'll have to ignore it because shell interprets it for something else. \!. You can skip the - between the dates.

ping-me Get up and eat! -d December-16-2015 -t 15:20 works !

@OrkoHunter Hey, i was testing the ping. I get a 200 OK but i don't get a notification. (I'm running on linux). I checked the inia.txt file on your server which is supposed to contain the text but it's empty.

[OrkoHunter]

You have to keep the GET.py script file running in your linux. The file is supposed to be empty because the message appears there just for few seconds and then it disappears. The script catches that message for you.

Edit, $ nohup ./GET.py &

I am trying to make a chrome extension for the app so that it would be more easy to receive the ping. :)

Oh, nice :) Good luck!
