I have this python script that is intended to run from startup and listen for a buttonpress. If there is a buttonpress (held for 2s) the gpio script should run two bash scripts. The python script runs if it is done with `python /path/to/script/script.py` so I know it is working. If I try to run in from startup by a `crontab -e` `@reboot /path/to/script/script.py` I can see that it is active when running the `top` command. However, the button press will not fire the intended bash scripts. I have tried and modify `~/.bashrc` and tried to have a bash script in `crontab -e` with `sudo python /path/to/script.py`. None of them worked. To complicate things further, If I change it to call a command instead, like `killall -9 openvpn` for example... then it works.. what am I doing wrong?

The python script looks like the following

```
from gpiozero import Button
from signal import pause
import os
def runboth():
     os.system("/opt/script/script_a.sh")

     os.system("/opt/script/script_b.sh")

runboth_btn = Button(23, hold_time=2)
runboth_btn.when_held = runboth

pause()

```

`

Below is one bash script I try to run with the button press. Its located in `~/opt/script#` and has the permissions `-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 240 Mar 21 11:58 match_email.sh`

```
#!/bin/bash
#run match
python /opt/tmp_email/email_match.py

wait
mv /opt/tmp_email/output.csv /opt/emailoutput$(date -d "today"+"%Y%m%d%H%M").csv

```

If I try to run it with a `subprocess.call` looking like

```
from gpiozero import Button
from signal import pause
import subprocess
def runboth():
    subprocess.call(['sh', '/opt/script/script_a.sh'], shell=False)

    subprocess.call(['sh', '/opt/script/script_b.sh'], shell=False)

runboth_btn = Button(17, hold_time=2)
runboth_btn.when_held = runboth

pause()

```

But didn´t work either..

Crontab looks like

```
@reboot /opt/script/run_both.py

```

I have had a look at [Run a shell script from a python script when a button is pressed](https://raspberrypi.stackexchange.com/questions/76342/run-a-shell-script-from-a-python-script-when-a-button-is-pressed) but that didn´t help me.. 
Any help is much appreciated!
