hickory is a simple command line tool for scheduling Python scripts.

pip install hickory

Create a file called foo.py:

import datetime
import time

stamp = datetime.datetime.now().strftime("%H:%M:%S")
time.sleep(5)

print(f"Foo - {stamp} + 5 seconds")

Schedule foo.py to execute every ten minutes:

hickory schedule foo.py --every=10minutes

Check the status of all queued schedules:

hickory status

Stop and delete the schedule for foo.py:

hickory kill foo.py

macOS - logs are stored in the same directory as the scheduled script:

tail -f hickory.log

Linux - logs are written to the journal:

journalctl -f
