Close dunst notification

Hi, I'm adjusting my brightness on two screens with bash script and I'd like to see what is current brightness for which I use dunst. It pops up every time brightness changes.
Problem is that those little windows generated by dunst are just staying there until their timeout and when I change brightness fast there are many of them.
Is there any way I can close the previous ones? Lets say by application name?

Re: Close dunst notification

not sure if its what you want but in your ~/.config/dunst/dunstrc

maybe look for 'timeout = xx' and change urgency_low to a lower value

...
[urgency_low]
    # IMPORTANT: colors have to be defined in quotation marks.
    # Otherwise the '#' and following  would be interpreted as a comment.
    background = "#D3D3A4"
    foreground = "#404040"
    timeout = 5

[urgency_normal]
    background = "#D3D3A4"
    foreground = "#404040"
    timeout = 5

[urgency_critical]
    background = "#ff9999"
    foreground = "#412F27"
    timeout = 5
...
