Cron job in python every x hours - 1 minute

I would like to create a cron job that triggers at 23h59, then 3h59, 7h59, 11h59...

My solution

scheduler.add_job(
    func=myfunc,
    trigger="cron",
    day='*',
    hour="*/4",
    minute=59,
    second=0,
)

works but triggers every time one hour too late: 00.59, 4.59... Any solution please?

Solution

  • You are using APScheduler. You can do

    scheduler.add_job(
    func=myfunc,
    trigger="cron",
    day='*',
    hour="3-23/4",
    minute=59,
    second=0,
)
