Hi everyone,
in this video we are quickly going over automating python scripts via a predefined execution date. The windows equivalent is the task scheduler.

Please note that the DataBase example is just a quickly coded example to show the functionality but you should not rely on it as I am not making 100% that I am only getting the last minute. I will provide a better way when we are updating the MySQL database in the Stock recommender series.

Important:
To remove your cronjobs use crontab -r

aferwards check by typing in:
crontab -l

Let me know if you have any questions! :-)
