How do I change directory of output file without writing absolute path of out put file in crontab

  • 772

I have applied the solution to my question:

  1. https://stackoverflow.com/questions/25902905/python-writing-to-file-works-fine-when-done-manually-but-cron-fails

but it has not resolved.

I wish to save the file at the following location :

/home/user/Documents/Python/output.csv

Path of the script:

/home/user/Documents/Python/script.py

my cronjob

* * * * * * /usr/bin/python3 /home/user/Documents/Python/script.py

It saves the data in a new file created on the following location if I give relative path:

/home/user/output.csv

and I do not want to give absolute path for the output file.

python bash cron 18.04
