Automatically run and schedule python scripts

cmoore — Thu, 26 Oct 2017 07:48:05 GMT

Hi,

I have a number of python scripts, each stored in individual folders on my network. I want to be able to run these scripts automatically in a sequence and output csv's in each folder. The method of data extraction is using python selenium so in each folder you have a "Py" file as well as a Chrome Webdriver that calls Google Chrome.

Would you happen to know how I can automate the running of these scripts automatically and even schedule at a time each month? I am currently using SAS 9.4 and Enterprise Guide.

Many thanks

Chris

I'm not sure why this is a SAS question, why not just use the Windows Scheduler or Cron depending on your operating system?

SAS stands for "Statistic Analysis Systems". Where do you see "scheduler" in that name?

Use the proper tool for your task, which means a scheduling system.
