I have the following code in my crontab :-
0-59/1 * * * * root **applications/welcome/cron/test.py
and the following code in my test.py which are inside the cron folder in my
application :-
db.person.insert(name="Alex")
and i want to insert this into the table person which are defined in the
model db.py :-
db.define_table('person', Field('name'))
so please help me through this example how automatically insert/update the
data in database by using cron job.
