Cron Job

[Chris Norman]

Hi again,
I would like to set up a cron job to email the day's journeys to a
pre-defined set of email addresses, using the model I described in the
previous example.

I have it so I can type:

python manage.py shell
import journey_sender

This does everything.

Thing is, I would like to use the server's cron demon to do this, so I
can't work it in the way I just described. I tried using combinations of
pipe characters, but to no avail.

Is there some way I can programatically simulate the shell yielded by
manage.py? Or is there a smarter way of running the cron job from within
Django it's self?

Thanks in advance,

[Vijay Khemlani]

The easiest way would be using a custom management command

Hi,
Thanks for the advice.

I actually found that just after writing my post. Now the cron job works perfectly.

Thanks,
