Can't run crontab django command

Question

I have a bash script run.sh --- -rwxrwxr-x (I did chmod +x run.sh)

When i run ./run.sh script works fine (appended data to the file)

But It did not work in crontab

crontab -l shows * * * * * ./run.sh

#!/bin/bash

export DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE=eda_parser.settings # eda_parser -- name of the project and the main app
cd /home/alex/root_folder/projects/5_eda_parser/eda_parser
source ../venv/bin/activate # run venv
python manage.py delete_old # main django command

Answer 1

1. activate your virtual environment
2. type in which python to know the path of your python executable and then use this python executable path in your shell script.

#!/bin/bash
export DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE=eda_parser.settings # eda_parser -- name of the project and the main app
/home/sysadmin/.virtualenvs/virtual_environment/bin/python /absolute/path/of/your/manage.py delete_old # main django command

also, you need to give the absolute path of your shell script when setting up crontab. let's suppose you want it to run at 01:15, append this in crontab -e.

15 1 * * * /absolute/path/to/your/shell/script.sh
