Add cron job in django based on admin settings

Question

I am using python 2.7 with django 1.8. I have the admin panel ready and working.

What I want is to run a (python) script every 5-10 minutes (cron?) which pulls the data from records specified by the admin. Any pointers how do I proceed?

It is unclear what you mean by "from records specified by the admin" — coldmind, Jul 09 '15 at 14:25
@coldmind, my database has two fields and multiple records. The admin will select any two records and I need to compute the logical 'AND' value of the second field those records. I need to do this for all the combinations selected by the admin. And I need to keep repeating this every 5 mins. Question 1: Where should I write my logic to do this? (I'm using Django) Question 2: How to automate this to run every 5 secs? — Koding Koding, Jul 09 '15 at 16:46
