django cron jobs with envir variables

16 February 2009

Although there are many posts out there about django and cron jobs, none fully solved my problem. You can set envir vars directly in your crontab file, but I had forgotten to copy all the ENV vars from my website.wsgi file : DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE=website.settings
ENV=beta
PYTHON_EGG_CACHE=/home/crucial/tmp

PYTHONPATH=/home/crucial/gitpo/djapps:/home/crucial/gitpo/pluggables:/home/crucial/gitpo:/home/crucial/gitpo/website
* * * * * /home/crucial/gitpo/website/manage.py send_mail
