In doubt about django-cron HOT 3 CLOSED

I would set your cron job to run every minute. It should only invoke the django-cron management command (./manage.py runcrons, if memory serves). Once that command starts, it will honor your run_every_min or run_at configuration by comparing the current time against the last known job runtime.

from django-cron.

As mentioned above, runcrons should be set to run fairly frequently (docs recommend 5 minutes), the command itself will check if any of cronjobs you defined need to be run.

See relevant section of docs here:

@craiglabenz and @mjaworski, thanks for those clarifications.
