Previously we talked about setting up some custom command in a Django project.

• Django – Create custom django-admin command

I would like to run the custom command in a regular interval. I could use Linux cronjob but it’s hard to manage and check the run history. It would be great if i could setup and manage these scheduled commands on the Django web portal.

django-chronograph, written by wnielson, is a Python Package which allows us to schedule any django-admin command through the web interface. It works well with the UTC timezone but if you have set the TIME_ZONE in your Django project setting.py, there would be time discrepancy.

For more detail about the bug, you can refer to the Issue #36 – Job doesn’t follow the Django’s TIME_ZONE setting.
