Each task should run automatically after specific time interval because now each time I run program separately for data downloading, data training and doing prediction on data I want all these task should run automatically after specific time interval how I will achieve this task.... ?

Answer 1

Assuming the server is not on Docker or Windows, use django-crontab .

I would recommend setting up the data jobs as management commands, and then using the crontab to trigger them at the desired interval or time of day.

settings.py

CRONJOBS = [
    ('0   4 * * *', 'django.core.management.call_command', ['download_the_data']),
]
