Run a bash file with python scripts automatically from a server

(1) First you can put the following in file called wrapper.py:

import time, sys

log, flush = sys.stdout.write, sys.stdout.flush

while True:
    log("I am waking up, let's run the scripts\n")

    # ****************************** #
    # call your python scripts here
    # example:
    # import script1, script2
    # script1.some_function1()
    # script2.some_function2()
    # ****************************** #


    log("Done for today, I will go to sleep for 1/3 a week (56 hours)\n")
    flush()

    #(60 seconds/minute)x(60 minutes/hour)x(24 hours/day) x 3 days = 259200 seconds
    hibernation = 259200 

    time.sleep(hibernation)  # sleep for 3 days = 259200 seconds

(2) Then to launch this as a daemon, run this command in your terminal:

nohup python wrapper.py >> logfile.log 2>&1 &

nohup
"no hangup", makes the python process continue running even after you close your terminal (or exit your shell)

>>
sends the output to a file named logfile.log

2>&1
sends both stdout and stderr to logfile.log

&
sends the running process to the background and gives shell control back to you

Notice you only run the nohup command once (unless the server restarts, then you you would have run it again. If this happens often, you can automate auto-restarting by putting the nohup command in an executable bash script, and then creating a cron job for example for that script).

i think you want to make a file that launches the bash file at specific times that you wish.I think that this script would help you:

from datetime import datetime
import os
# the list below should be supplied with the times when you want to launch your bash script
times = [ "write times in the format(no whitespaces, only colons): day(lowercase):hour:minutes",  "day(lowercase):hour:minutes"]
path = r"Path/of/executable/bash/file"      # this is the bash file that runs your other python scripts
while(True):
    now=datetime.now()
    nowtime=now.strftime("%H:%M")
    today=now.strftime("%A")
    today=today.lower()
    time=today+":"+nowtime   # this line would bring it into the correct format

    for eachtime in times:      # These three lines would check if the current time is correct to launch the bash script
        if time = eachtime:
            os.system("cd "+path+"\r\n <command to execute bash>")      # If it is correct then execute the bash file.

You can start this script and let it run forever.. it would automatically launch the bash files at the correct times..

I hope i could solve your problem
