Run 2 python scripts using crontab

Question

This is my first crontab file. its work fine to execute logDHT.py but will it work if i just add this line of code under the last line of my crontab? The line of code that i want to add:

* * 1 * * pi /usr/bin/python /home/pi/Sensors_Database/checkDB.py 

My First Crontab:

# For example, you can run a backup of all your user accounts
# at 5 a.m every week with:
# 0 5 * * 1 tar -zcf /var/backups/home.tgz /home/
#
# For more information see the manual pages of crontab(5) and cron(8)
#
# m h  dom mon dow   command

1 * * * * pi /usr/bin/python /home/pi/Sensors_Database/logDHT.py

My goals is running 2 script at different time, with logDHT.py running every minute, and checkDB.py running every day.

Answer 1

Is pi /usr/bin/python /home/pi/Sensors_Database/checkDB.py how you normally run the script if you were to run it from CLI?

Here is an example from my own crontab:

0 * * * * ~/.duckdns/duck.sh >/dev/null 2>&1
0 * * * * python ~/flagstatus.py >/dev/null 2>&1

As you can see, the first line is a bash script, and the second line is a python script. If I were to run my flagstatus.py script from the command line, this is exactly what I would type in: python ~/flagstatus.py and that's exactly what goes into crontab. The >/dev/null 2>&1 part at the end just tells cron that I don't want any output (ie no logs, etc). It's optional, just depends on if you want cron to create logs/send messages about the scirpts output.
