Crontab not running

Trying to get a script to run at random hours/minutes via crontab.

It looks like crontab is not enabled, and I cannot randomize scheduled tasks?

You can randomize your scheduled task inside the code, but to some degree only, as we do not let scheduled tasks to run for more than 6 hours for free accounts. For long-running tasks we offer Always-on Tasks. See https://help.pythonanywhere.com/pages/AlwaysOnTasks/
