Environment Variables when python script run by cron

Question

I have been looking at other stack overflow questions but couldn\'t get any to work. I have a python script which uses environment variables. This script works exactly as pl

Answer 1

This is one of the approach I like, write a script to set environment and execute the script with its parameters as its parameters

set_env_to_process.sh

#!/usr/bin/env bash
echo "TEST_VAR before export is: <$TEST_VAR>"

export TEST_VAR=/opt/loca/netcdf
echo "TEST_VAR after export is: <$TEST_VAR>"
export PATH=$PATH:/usr/bin/python3.5
export PYTHTONPATH=$PYTHONPATH:/my/installed/pythonpath

# execute command and its parameters as input for this script
if [ $# -eq 0 ]; then
    echo "No command to execute"
else
    echo "Execute commands with its parameters: $@"
    eval $@
fi

usage

/usr/bin/python3.5 /code/scraper.pyare taken as input for set_env_to_process.sh set_env_to_process.sh set the correct env for script to run

It could be used as command line, cron, sudo, ssh to setup env
