Trying to run a python script from ubuntu crontab

Question

Hey I am running into an issue when trying to run a cron job with a python script from ubuntu. This is what I have done:

1.) Wrote a simple tkinter app: source for

Answer 1

I use crontab to run a bash file

30 12 * * 1,2,3,4,5 /home/edward/SSF/SW/EODWD.sh

in termanal -- use crontab -e

the bash file executes as many other programs as you wish

/home/edward/SSF/SW/EODWD.py >> /home/edward/Desktop/eodmail.log wait

this example also sends all print statements in EODWD.py to a log file automatically

the wait statement forces competion before taking the next command

this works ONLY IF both files ( *.py & *.sh ) are made executable
