title: Cron job calling bash script and python scripts
body: <p>Okay so I have a bash script that simply downloads a web page, and then I use python to pulls some data out of the downloaded page. 
  So my bash script is along the lines of</p>
  
  <pre><code>#!/bin/bash
  html_file="web_page.html"
  wget -O /home/michael/Documents/CS288/homework7/web_page.html http://markets.usatoday.com/custom/usatoday-com/html-mktscreener.asp?exchange=13\&amp;screen=1
  python hw_7_2.py $html_file
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Now, when I just execute this bash script from the command line it runs fine, the wget runs and then my python script executes, however when I set it up as a cron job the wget will run but the python script never executes.
  I have not really set up cron jobs so this I think may be the issue. This is basically what my crontab file looks like</p>
  
  <pre><code>SHELL=/bin/bash
  PATH=/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin
   * * * * * michael /home/michael/Documents/CS288/homework7/usatoday_runner.sh
