Can't installtasks because of IOError about django-kronos HOT 6 CLOSED

I am using Windows btw.

from django-kronos.

Any solution for this issue?

Kronos isn't tested on windows. In fact, does Windows even have cron?

from django-kronos.

Python-Crontab does work with Windows, but only offers two non-system methods (tabfile and tab), neither of which are setup to be used with kronos. See https://pypi.python.org/pypi/python-crontab#how-to-use-the-module

There might be some way to add this functionality to kronos, but not as it's currently setup since kronos installs new tasks with:
tab = crontab.CronTab(user=True)

I think this issue can be closed.

Hello folks,

I am also facing the this kind of error, when i execute

python manage.py installtasks

When i execute this command via python script using subprocess throwing an error

raise IOError("Read crontab %s: %s" % (self.user, err))
IOError: Read crontab nobody: You (nobody) are not allowed to use this program (/usr/bin/crontab)

So, is installtasks command running via nobody user? or any explanation to this problem?

Sounds like you're running python manage.py installtasks with a user that doesn't have permission to add or read the crontab, @AnandMoorthy.
