Re: Custom Command as cron

[pkenjora]

Here is an example of a complete script that does this:

http://blog.awarelabs.com/2007/using-django-models-in-batch-jobs/

You will need to know the complete path to Django.  In the CRON you
now do not need to set PYTHONPATH for Django because it is set in the
actual script.

Re: Custom Command as cron

[Fangzx]

Hi, I used ubuntu crontab to exec python script in my project.

1. In crontab, you can do  like this:

DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE=divo3.settings
PYTHONPATH=/root/deploy

# m h  dom mon dow   command
50 * * * * python /root/deploy/divo3/job.py

2. The job.py file must put in the root dir of django project, its
content like this:

#coding=utf-8
from apps.check.views.job import do_check_job
from apps.board.views.job import do_board_job
from apps.core.views.job import do_core_job
from apps.xf.views.job import do_xf_job
from apps.utils.log import log_error

if __name__ == "__main__":
do_core_job()
do_board_job()
do_check_job()
do_xf_job()

#EOP

Re: Custom Command as cron

[Matt McCants]

I knew this would happen as soon as I hit submit to make a fool of
myself.

So I tried to use:
manage.py custom_command_name --pythonpath='/path/to/my/project'

but that had not worked either. The real path to the project is:

/home/webdev/django/fls

but I failed to put in:

manage.py custom_command_name --pythonpath='/home/webdev/django'

seems to have done the trick. As I said, I'm fairly new to Django and
Python. I understand why I was wrong. Thanks for reading anyway!
