Event ID

[Horvath Tamas]

Hi Jason!

Thanks the idea!

One last question: if I run md5sum twice for the same data it will
produce the same output? This is important us to provide the same ID for
same notifications which will be sent by SMS and by e-mail?

I don't know much about MD5 tools, but I will read about it and try to
use!

Thanks again, Tamas!
