System configuration
$ python extract.py when I run the code on Terminal with above command, it works properly and create the folder and extract the file into it.
Similarly, when I create a cron job using sodu rights the code executes but don't create any folder or extracts the files.
crontab command:-
40 10 * * * /usr/bin/sudo /usr/bin/python /home/ubuntu/demo/directory.py > /home/ubuntu/demo/logmyshit.log 2>&1
also tried
40 10 * * * /usr/bin/python /home/ubuntu/demo/directory.py > /home/ubuntu/demo/logmyshit.log 2>&1
Notes :
Please help where am I going wrong.
Oups, there is nothing really wrong in running a Python script in crontab, but many bad things can happen because the environment is not the one you are used to.
When you type in an interactive shell python directory.py, the PATH and all required PYTHON environment variable have been set as part of login and interactive shell initialization, and the current directory is your home directory by default or anywhere you currently are.
When the same command is run from crontab, the current directory is not specified (but may not be what you expect), PATH is only /bin:/usr/bin and python environment variables are not set. That means that you will have to tweak environment variables in crontab file until you get a correct Python environment, and set the current directory.
