Daily scheduled tasks missed a couple of days for no apparent reason

Hi,

I have four scheduled tasks that run on a daily basis. One of these, named "export_pf.py" (which prints out some dataframes to csv and is crucial to keep my account info up-to-date), did not run on 12/22 and 12/23. I can't determine why the task was not executed, and there is simply no entry in the log for those two days. Could you please advise me on this?

Thanks!

Could you send more details to support@pythonanywhere.com. From what I can see in logs, export_pf was running on both days.

Hi fjl,

Thanks for your response. Yes, I can see it now too in the log. For some reason, those entries did not show up when I checked yesterday.

That's strange. The logs are served with appropriate headers that should stop them from being cached, but perhaps for some reason those were ignored by your browser when you checked previously? If it happens again, try force-reloading the log page (by holding down shift while you click your browser's refresh button) and see if that fixes it.
