python - working with crontab -


i'm new python. googling has got me module https://pypi.python.org/pypi/python-crontab. i've setup env , installed python-crontab==1.9.3. keep getting errors. doing wrong? appreciate. i'm trying use examples don't seem working me.

what following:

  • add cron job cron tab

terminal error output:

    traceback (most recent call last):       file "test5.py", line 5, in <module>         users_cron    = crontab(user='testuser')       file "/users/testuser/desktop/sample1/prj-env/lib/python2.7/site-packages/crontab.py", line 187, in __init__         self.read(tabfile)       file "/users/testuser/desktop/sample1/prj-env/lib/python2.7/site-packages/crontab.py", line 231, in read         raise ioerror("read crontab %s: %s" % (self.user, err))     ioerror: read crontab testuser: crontab: must privileged use -u 

users_cron    = crontab(user='testuser') 

it appears trying create cronjob user 'testuser'.

ioerror: read crontab testuser: crontab: must privileged use -u 

the error telling you need privileged user able that. try running script 'sudo':

sudo python my_python_script.py
