Dear Team, 

In my application, I want a user to set for example a leave plan in the system and the system notify the user by email for example one day before the start leave date. At the same time the system disables the user in the system. Here I have a field is_active and I want the system to set it to False from the leave date to the end date. And also to set Ongoing status on the leave plan user list. I heard somewhere that Django Cron Job can do this but I never use it and I do not know how to use it in the application.
If someone has used  it for some time please I need help. 

Thank you

What I would do in such case, is to write a function somewhere that checks if a user applied for a leave, then check if the leave time is within a day, then do whatever you want, like setting is_active to False. Then set the cron job to run this function every day, every hour, or however you'd like.

You should use celery for running cron jobs.

Thank you for recommendations,

Because I never use this Celery-beat, if possible you can give some sample for example for someone who used it before

thanks
