SETTINGS

DJTASKS_DELETE_INTERVAL = 14

Interval in days to specify how old dj_tasks.models.TaskRun entries to delete. Run daily through dj_tasks.tasks.DeleteOldTaskRunTask.

DJTASKS_LOCK = True

If True, the management command will exit if another instance of the command is already running. This was a workaround PythonAnywhere used to offer for Long Running Tasks to ensure your task is always running, they have since switched to offering a paid feature Always-on Tasks. It’s no longer documented, but it still is a valid option.

DJTASKS_LOCK_ID = “”

This must be set in order to use the run_tasks management command. A good naming convention would be to use your Django project name.

DJTASKS_SLEEP_INTERVAL = 10

Specifies how long the management command run_tasks should sleep before looping through tasks specified in DJTASKS_TASKS. Keep in mind if you have a Task.frequency = 10, and DJTASKS_SLEEP_INTERVAL = 20, your task will only run every 20 seconds.

DJTASKS_TASKS = [ ]

A list of child Task that should run in the management command run_tasks.
