Question

I have set up a cronjob for root user in ubuntu environment as follows by typing crontab -e

  0          


        

Answer 1

Finally I found the solution. Following is the solution:-

1. Never use relative path in python scripts to be executed via crontab. I did something like this instead:-

   import os
   import sys
   import time, datetime
   
   CLASS_PATH = '/srv/www/live/mainapp/classes'
   SETTINGS_PATH = '/srv/www/live/foodtrade'
   sys.path.insert(0, CLASS_PATH)
   sys.path.insert(1,SETTINGS_PATH)
   
   import other_py_files
   

2. Never supress the crontab code instead use mailserver and check the mail for the user. That gives clearer insights of what is going.
