I have a project idea that would require a specific script/Python program to be run at least once per week. The entire project hinges on this script running successfully at the given time.
If PythonAnywhere servers are down when the script is supposed to run, what are my options? I could run backup scheduled tasks to verify that the script actually ran. A little late is better than never. An always-on task sounds to verify the process would probably be overkill and would eat more CPU seconds than I'd like, but it is an option.
Does anyone have any better ideas? I suppose this is a design question more than anything, but I'm looking for input.
Also, how long do the servers go down when they tend to go down at all?
Thanks in advance for any info/advice....
