Script to be executed in specific time. - zer0 t1me - Feb 19, 2014

I've made up a research about how can I make a script to be executed in spcecific time but without any result.
So the main question is : is it possible? and if so how ?

P.S. The best I have made up to now is something like : time.sleep("seconds").

Could you give an example of why you re trying to do? Your explanation isn't entirely clear. However judging by what you have, it should be possible.

Okay a quick example :

PHP Code 


<?php 
import time

while time == 21:25:
....
....
....
....

Use cron or Windows Task Scheduler. They should fit your needs.

You could try with time.gmtime()
for example, look at this:

Code 
import time

print (str(time.gmtime()[3])+":"+str(time.gmtime()[4])+":"+str(time.gmtime()[5]))

#output will be the time in the format HH:MM:SS, example is 20:41:24

You could use this to do what you're trying to do:

Code 
import time

time = "20:45"

while (str(time.gmtime()[3])+":"+str(time.gmtime()[4])) == time:

    print ("running during this minute only")

Couldn't have said it better myself.
