I wonder if someone can help me here We've been using cron to run an update script that looks in our django commmunity pages(aggy), pulls out Feeds and creates feeditems.
Here's what an example of the cron file looks like 17 13 * * * /var/www/django/django_projects/scripts/computing_feeds.sh Here's what that shell script looks like #!/bin/bash /usr/bin/python /var/www/django/django_projects/scripts/ update_feeds.py --settings=fact.settings_computing I've got a fact.pth file in my site-packages folder for python(fact is the name of the django application, with multiple settings files), looks like this /var/www/django/django_projects The fact folder sits in that folder I've pasted in a copy of update_feeds.py that we've been using for over 5 years now. At some point in the last 2 months it's stopped working. I can run the commands from the command line, which leads me to believe that DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE is not being passed to the update_feeds.py script. The problem I've got with this is that it has been working for a very long time. If anyone can shed any light on what is going on here, or have any ideas on how to solve it, I'd be more than grateful for any advice or tips. vi /var/www/django/django_projects/scripts/update_feeds.py !/usr/bin/python """ Update feeds for Django community page.
