Running crontab in mac

问题

I'm trying to test a python script that has to be run by a cron job. I'm trying to config the cron job in my mac but doesn't run. Here is my cron job...

*   *   *   *   *   user /usr/local/bin/python3 ~/Documents/wpc/stocks/daily_stock.py

If I crontab -l the job is there. I ran the script manually and works but is not running by the cron job. How can I fix this?

I used the following method to solve this issue on Mac OS.

You can add a shebang to the top of your python script to specify the Python versions path:

Python 3

#!/usr/bin/env python3

Python 2.7

#!/usr/bin/env python2

You will also need to ensure the file is executable:

chmod a+x filename.py

This will allow you to execute the python script without having to specify "python" before the script.

You can then set your crontab with crontab -e, e.g:

0 9/15 * * *  cd /Users/user12/Dev/Scripts/Python && ./test.py
