How to run tasks on schedule

[CodeInFilth]

How do you recomend running tasks on a schedule as some of the scripts require you to call them from the root of the project directory.

Your insight here would be helpful as I can only think of hickory and cron jobs and those do not seem to work properly.

Do you have plan on sharing the way you achive this? As I still get errors when running wsb_live() and trying to cron them.

The reason why I didn't share it from the start is because I'm using pythonanywhere to host/run my scheduled tasks, where the method of running a scheduled script is quite different from how we will run on our OS.

Basically at the start of every hour (00 mins past), I will run wsb_live() and update_hourly(). Note that you only run update_hourly() once every hour.

For the rest of the hour (in 10mins interval each), I will run wsb_live(), wsb_change() and get_mkt_cap().

tasks_to_run.py is purely for reference. You are free to experiment how you want to run the scripts.
