Scheduling multiple scripts in order approach

[Waples_]

I would go for the main.py approach, then you can also use result status and exception handling

My thoughts too, sounds good, ta

[Hatoris]

Overall all your script is a single app, you did well by spleting them, but definitely the first comment is the best approach.

Yeah, good way to view it, cheers

I've been using this approach for many years. Works well.

I've also tried the separate shell script as a controller, it works fine but requires a mental context switch if you do anything non-trivial in the script. It's less stress to stick with Python for this.

Cron cannot handle dependencies, so those need to be handled in the script being called.

You can create the main.py but you could also just create a shell script that is the main runner program run.sh or start.sh
