  • Python script

    From Rick Smith@1:340/202 to All on Mon Apr 6 14:30:46 2020
    Greetings All!

    Can I have mystic events or some other method to run a python script every hour
    or so?


    Regards,

    Yes just add the script and the path to it in your shell line then set the script up as an event type that you want it to run with.

    Greetings Paul,

    the script up as an event type that you want it to run with.

    What I had that didnt appear to be working was a new event "Hourly" with it pointing to c:\mystic\themes\default\scripts\ctracker_mystic.py

    Thoughts?

    Are you running it as "Python c:\mystic\themes\default\scripts\ctracker_mystic.py"?

    Are you running it as "Python

    Yes I tried it with python
    c:\mystic\themes\default\scripts\ctracker_mystic.py and just kept getting a "9009" error so I turned it off and just had windows run it every hour and
    now works.

    From Windows:

    Trying to execute a command that does not exist and then checking
    for the %errorcode% gives me a 9009:

    idontexist.exe
    'idontexist.exe' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
    operable program or batch file.

    echo %errorlevel%
    9009
