Setup cron job to execute python script inside the bash sh file

I did create a Cron job to run the bash file, it went OK from command line, but if running from the Cron job, it gave me error saying "Python is not a command"

My bash file called: Myscript.sh

#!/bin/bash
cd /var/www/html/public_html/test_scripts
python script1.py serverlog.log 2&>1 &
python script2.py serverlog.log 2&>1 &

My cron job setting

30 5 * * 1-5 root bash Myscript.sh

Anyone know what I'm doing wrong and to get around this problem?

Thanks,

You need to put the full path to python. If you don't know path, you can find it with which command:

➜  ~ which python
/usr/bin/python

and then modify your script

#!/bin/bash
cd /var/www/html/public_html/test_scripts
/usr/bin/python script1.py serverlog.log 2&>1 &
/usr/bin/python script2.py serverlog.log 2&>1 &
