Linux cron and init

If you plan to do something by linux it's self

you may wanna use 'cron'

but how to do it !

On ubuntu !You can come into the /etc/cron.d/

and create your script ....

and then write some plan ...

and my create_data_table.py script will be run every day 16:00

That's what i wanna ..

</step02> How to run something when the machine start ....

vim  /etc/rc.local

But if your programer is blocking ,and you wanna run more than one script ..

You may be need to write a start.py like there I write a multi_process.py

#!/usr/bin/python

import multiprocessing

import os


def run_consumer():

        os.execl('/home/txcs/AK/z2.0/consumer.py','i')

def run_producer():

        os.execl('/home/txcs/AK/z2.0/producer.py','i')

def run_broker():

        os.execl('/home/txcs/AK/z2.0/broker.py','i')

if __name__ == '__main__':


        for i in range(5):

                c = multiprocessing.Process(target = run_consumer)

                c.start()

        p_broker = multiprocessing.Process(target = run_broker)

        p_broker.start()

        p_producer = multiprocessing.Process(target = run_producer)

        p_producer.start()

</step03>  have fun ...
