Description

Session Goal

The primary aim of this session was to enhance the automation of task scheduling and briefing generation using Python scripts, cron jobs, and systemd services.

Key Activities

  • Scheduled Python Script with Cron: Detailed instructions were provided to schedule a Python script to run every 10 minutes using cron jobs.
  • Standalone Python Script for Job Opportunities: Developed a Python script to process job opportunities from MongoDB and insert them into Google Sheets.
  • Updated Scheduler Script: Enhanced the scheduler.py script to include a new job triggering the jobs_to_google_sheet.py script every hour using apscheduler.
  • Systemd Service Setup: Configured scheduler.py to run at system startup using systemd, including service file creation and log monitoring.
  • Reloading Systemd Service: Outlined steps to reload and restart the systemd service for updates to scheduler.py.
  • Morning Briefing Automation Script: Developed a high-level script for automating morning briefings, integrating task fetching and GPT-based briefing generation.
  • GPT-4 Briefing Function: Created a function to generate structured briefings using the GPT-4 API.
  • Concise User Prompts: Updated user prompts for morning and evening briefings for clarity and conciseness.

Achievements

  • Successfully scheduled and automated Python scripts using cron and systemd.
  • Enhanced the scheduler.py script with additional job scheduling capabilities.
  • Improved briefing generation with GPT-4 integration and concise user prompts.

Pending Tasks

  • Further testing and validation of the new scheduling and briefing scripts in a production environment.
  • Explore additional integrations and optimizations for the briefing process.
