# Scheduling Script Weekly on Windows and Linux Startup
## Windows
To schedule the execution of a Python script on Windows every week when the system boots, you can use the Task Scheduler. Follow these steps:
1. **Open Task Scheduler:** Press `Win + S`, type "Task Scheduler," and select it from the search results.
2. **Create a Basic Task:**
- Click on "Create Basic Task" in the right-hand menu.
- Follow the wizard to set a name and description for your task.
3. **Trigger Settings:**
- Choose the "Weekly" trigger option.
- Set the day and time you want the script to run each week.
4. **Action Settings:**
- Select "Start a program" as the action.
- Browse and select the Python executable (e.g., `python.exe`) as the program/script.
- In the "Add arguments" field, provide the path to your Python script (e.g., `C:\path\to\your\script.py`).
5. **Finish:**
- Review your settings and complete the wizard.
Your Python script will now run every week at the specified day and time when the Windows system starts.
## Linux
To schedule the execution of a Python script on Linux every week during boot, you can use `cron`. Follow these steps:
1. **Open the Crontab Editor:**
- Open a terminal.
- Type `crontab -e` to edit the crontab file.
2. **Add a Weekly Cron Job:**
- In the editor, add the following line to run your Python script every week at boot:
```
@reboot /path/to/python3 /path/to/your/script.py
```
Replace `/path/to/python3` with the path to your Python interpreter (use `which python3` to find it) and `/path/to/your/script.py` with the path to your Python script.
3. **Save and Exit:**
- Save the changes and exit the crontab editor.
Now, your Python script will be executed every week when the Linux system boots up.
Note: Ensure that your Python script has the necessary permissions to run and that any required dependencies are available.
