Issues Automating InstaPy with Cron #2093

Closed victorsandovalmattar closed 5 years ago

victorsandovalmattar commented 6 years ago

Hello friends. I am running a script to β€œInteract with someone else's followers” in a Digital Ocean droplet, and itΒ΄s working like a charm. Here follows the script: import os import time from tempfile import gettempdir

from selenium.common.exceptions import NoSuchElementException

from instapy import InstaPy

insta_username = '' insta_password = ''

set headless_browser=True if you want to run InstaPy on a server

set these in instapy/settings.py if you're locating the

library in the /usr/lib/pythonX.X/ directory:

Settings.database_location = '/path/to/instapy.db'

Settings.chromedriver_location = '/path/to/chromedriver'

session = InstaPy(username=insta_username, password=insta_password, headless_browser=True, multi_logs=True)

try: session.login()

# settings

finally:

end the bot session

session.end()

But when I set my crontab to run it, it acts weird. It follows and comments on some peopleΒ΄s photos, then it unfollows a couple hours later, and don’t like any photos.

My crontab command line is:

25 17 * cd /root/InstaPy && python3 victor.py

What am I doing wrong friends?

CharlesCCC commented 6 years ago

Can you please share your general.log file ?

victorsandovalmattar commented 6 years ago

Thanks for the help CharlesCCC. Sorry about that but how do I do this?

victorsandovalmattar commented 6 years ago

is that it?

CharlesCCC commented 6 years ago

nope, that not it. if you cd to /Instapy/Logs folder, you should have seem it there or under your username.

ghost commented 6 years ago

Sorta the same problem as me,,,,,, try adding this code to sudo crontab -e

*/5 * * * * pgrep -f quickstart.py || nohup python3 /home/ubuntu/ifollow/InstaPy-master/quickstart.py > test.out

EDIT : THIS DIDNT WORK !!!!!!!

victorsandovalmattar commented 6 years ago

@uluQulu Would you help me please?

uluQulu commented 6 years ago

Hi @victorsandovalmattar I wish I could help but I have never used cron, that's why I can't be sure about it. But attaching your quickstart and general.log file (find in your logs folder) e.g. in a zip would help to understand the issue a bit. (don't forget to remove personal information) *Attach the same files connected to that problematic situation.

@CharlesCCC, does cron job also write to general.log?

SeanFmcdonnell commented 5 years ago

I've setup cron on Ubuntu with the following command 0 /3 /home/ubuntu/InstaPy && python3.5 quickstart.py

It doesn't seem to be working. What's the best way to see if it's working? I'd like to be able to setup an email notification once it has started or completed or both...
