Why we can't add individual job and can't remove individual job to crontab

[slalit360]

Environment & Versions

• Operating system:
• Python:
• Django:
• django-crontab:

Settings

• My django-crontab settings:

# crontab job for mail alerts
CRONJOBS_LOG_DIR = r"/var/log/celery3"
CRONJOBS_ERR_LOG = "cronjob_beat.log"
CRONTAB_COMMAND_SUFFIX = '2>&1'

CRONJOBS = [
	('*/60 * * * *', 'integrations.notification_util.trigger_updates_inbox', '>> {} 2>&1'.format(os.path.join(CRONJOBS_LOG_DIR, CRONJOBS_ERR_LOG))),
    ('*/30 * * * *', 'integrations.notification_util.trigger_updates_proc', '>> {} 2>&1'.format(os.path.join(CRONJOBS_LOG_DIR, CRONJOBS_ERR_LOG)),
]

Details

• Output of crontab -l after running python manage.py crontab add.

Then both jobs will be added .

• Output of crontab -l after running python manage.py crontab remove.

Then both jobs will be removed.

• If this output contained a crontab run command and I copy this command to my terminal the job works: yes/no

CRONJOBS in settings is a list. All elements in the list will get added to cron. If you do not want to add a job, then you will have to remove it from the list.
