APScheduler not starting?
Question: I would like to run a python script during the night and so I was thinking of
using APScheduler. I'll start running it at 1am of the following night and it
will run once every night

my scheduler script looks like this (scheduler.py):

    
    
    from apscheduler.scheduler import Scheduler
    from datetime import datetime, timedelta, time, date
    
    def myScript():
        print "ok"
    
    if __name__ == '__main__':
        sched = Scheduler()
        startDate = datetime.combine(date.today() + timedelta(days=1),time(1))
        sched.start()
        sched.add_interval_job(myScript, start_date = startDate, days=1)
    

In the shell, I do: `python myScheduler.py & disown` (I'm running it remotely, so I want to run it in the background and disown it. Immediately, a number (PID) appears below the line, as every other python script would do. But when I do ps -e | grep python, that number is not there. I tried to do `kill -9 PID` and I got a message saying that the job does not exist. 

Is the scheduler running? If yes, how can I stop it? if not, what am I doing
wrong?


Answer: you have to keep the script running otherwise after the
`sched.add_interval_job(myScript, start_date = startDate, days=1)`, the script
ends and stop. add a

    
    
    import time
    
    while True:
        time.sleep(10)
    sched.shutdown()
    

after, and then, the scheduler will still be alive.
