Create a python routine that runs a script every 30 min

Question

I created a code that copies a file from one folder and moves to another, but I have files every 30 min and I need this script to run at that time too.

Answer 1

if you want to do this internally by code, you can use the library time:

import time

while True:

    print('funcionou')

    time.sleep(1800)

At each n seconds (1800 segundos é o equivalente a 30 minutos), the code within the scope of while will be executed whenever you arrive at the designated time. For this, you will have a specific terminal window for it to carry out this process, and to end the flow you can use a KeyboardInterrupt.

Also, you have the possibility to use a task schedule or a automator to execute the arquivo.py without the need to let it run dormant through the Sleep.
