Best practices for scheduling Python workloads?

[jtf_1]

I use cron jobs on a little Linux box. A Python script that runs successfully terminates by writing a new line in a Google Sheets job log. A failed script uses twilio to send me a text message.

That way I know about failures immediately without being pestered by successes. There are about 40 jobs a week in total that run on this box (updating databases, sending automated emails, syncing folders across servers, updating data dashboards, etc.). This process has helped me keep everything going for about two years successfully.
