使用 Crontab 执行 Python 脚本

Question

I'm trying to execute a python script using crontab. I want to run this script every 2 hours. I use:

export EDITOR=nano
crontab -e

then:

0 */2 * * * cd /Users/myname/Desktop/CoronaFR/ && /opt/anaconda3/bin/python3 CoronaFR.py

But it doesn't work. Any idea? Maybe a path problem?

Thanks in advance!

Answer 1

Try

0 */2 * * * /opt/anaconda3/bin/python3 /full/path/to_the_script/CoronaFR.py

Answer 2

You can remove cd command and directly call the script by this command:

0 */2 * * * /opt/anaconda3/bin/python3 /Users/myname/Desktop/CoronaFR/CoronaFR.py
