Stopping the scheduler after certain number of iterations

[Dusan Boskovic]

Hi,
I am using APScheduler to run one of my functions, and I wanted to know if there was a way to only run the scheduler a specific amount of times, say 3.

Currently, this is my following code structure

from apscheduler.schedulers.blocking import BlockingScheduler
from dp_event_handler_module import case2_newconfig
import os


def main_func():
    scheduler = BlockingScheduler()
    scheduler.add_executor('threadpool')
    scheduler.add_job(case2_newconfig.process_new_tracking_data, 'interval', seconds=15, id='new_tracking_data')
    print('Press Ctrl+{0} to exit'.format('Break' if os.name == 'nt' else 'C'))
    scheduler.print_jobs()

    try:
        scheduler.start()
    except (KeyboardInterrupt, SystemExit):
        pass

I want the scheduler to stop after three iterations of the process_new_tracking_data function. Is there a way of doing this?

Thanks

Have you tried stopping the scheduler from the job's target function on the third iteration? Just make sure you use scheduler.shutdown(False) to avoid a deadlock.

If that's no good, you can use an event listener to track job executions.
