I expected the script to re-start 2-3 seconds after 8:05, python reloading after a long sleep etc, what I get is the script restarting at 08:04.55, earlier ???
OK this is not a world stopping problem, more of a curiosity.
Any suggestions
Dave
Thanks for your input guys, I have used cron (fcron for me) in the past (Im a Gentoo Linux guy :-) ) I was just trying to keep it all pure python. As I said its more of a curiosity.
It must be cummulative error over 10s of thousands of seconds. Its a bodge (& cron or at are better) but I suppose I could calculate seconds to 8:05 sleep(seconds*0.95), re calculate secs to 8:05 sleep(seconds) which should reduce the error to almost zip.
