I have several python apps. To run these apps, I must 1st execute the virtual environment by issuing the following command:

source venv/bin/activate

I need to run these files using a cronjob (on Unix).

How can I get the a BASH shell script to execute a python app and make it run in its virtual environment?

Thanks

Execute a bash shell script with cron that in turn runs python script after sourcing VEnv – erik258 May 05 '22 at 23:24

Compile your python app with pyinstaller to onefile and run it from crontab /path/to/pyinstaller_file – ufopilot May 05 '22 at 23:32
