cron-tab issue(Task scheduling)

amritpalpathak · 04-08-2011, 11:16 AM

I used the cron-tab to run the rails's server 24 hours for my application by issuing the following command in terminal
crontab -3(To open the cron-tab terminal) and then
* * * * * OSV/OpenStreetView/script/server

Similarly i tried to run server for the django application by issuing the command in same terminal below the above command as

* * * * * djproject/python manage.py runserver

Here the rails server is working fine but django application not .Why?
Even the syntax of both is same

Thanks

I know nothing about these applications, but I hope you understand that what this will do is start a new instance of each of these programs every minute, forever! OR at least until one instance detects or steps on another, or the table or memory fill up and things start to crash.

Hi amritpalpathak,
Try this "* * * * * root djproject/python manage.py runserver". And wpeckham seems to have given the exact solution.
