linux crontab 使用谷歌 api 驱动器失败

Question

I have a python script that downloads files from google drive through the API, it's perfect to run it manually but when I want to automate it with crontab it doesn't download anything and it doesn't send errors to the log I defined. I am using absolute paths -> 05 20 * * * /usr/bin/python3 /home/user/etl1/download.py , also I have the headers configured in my script

#! /usr/bin/python3
# - * - coding: utf-8 - * -

I have also given permissions to everything, but I can't. instead the Upload script that writes to BigQuery goes perfectly with crontab.

I would appreciate if someone could support me

Answer 1

first of all - you have whitespaces in /usr /bin /python3 so you can try /usr/bin/python3

and second , try:

05 20 * * * $(which python3) /home/user/etl1/download.py >> ~/cron.log 2>&1
