setup cron job to run python script

cron is a time-based job scheduler in unix-like operating systems. it allows users to schedule tasks (cron jobs) to run periodically at fixed times, dates, or intervals. in this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of setting up a cron job to run a python script.
if your python script is not executable, you may need to grant execution permission:
determine the path to your python interpreter. you can find it by running:
replace python3 with the appropriate version if needed (e.g., python2 or python3.8).
open the crontab editor by running:
this will open the crontab configuration file in the default editor. add a new line to schedule your python script:
the cron schedule pattern 0 3 * * * means "at 3:00 am every day." you can customize this pattern based on your requirements. the five asterisks represent minutes (0-59), hours (0-23), days of the month (1-31), months (1-12), and days of the week (0-6, with sunday as both 0 and 7).
save your changes and exit the editor. in most editors, you can press ctrl + x, then y to confirm, and finally enter to exit.
to verify that your cron job is scheduled correctly, list your current cron jobs:
you should see the line you added.
now, wait for the scheduled time, or manually trigger the cron job using:
you've successfully set up a cron job to run a python script at specified intervals. adjust the cron schedule pattern and script paths according to your specific requirements.
