    Cron is the normal way to do this. Since your problem is with scheduling and not with Python I suggest to repost to serverfault with a detailed description of how you configured cron and what went wrong. Commented Aug 21, 2015 at 3:24

  • "but it is not performing the operation." You probably forgot to set a PATH or PYTHONPATH, didn't make the script executable or the script doesn't have a Python she-bang. Commented Aug 21, 2015 at 7:06
