How to schedule python script to exit at given time

I need to schedule a python script which can exit and kill it self at a given time. For scheduling, I am using python schedule and below is the code:

import schedule

from threading import Thread

import time

import sys





def exit_data():

    print("Exiting")

    sys.exit()



def exit_data_thread():

    schedule.every().day.at('13:20').do(exit_data)

    while True:

        schedule.run_pending()

        time.sleep(1)





def main():

    Thread(target=exit_data_thread).start()



    while True:

        time.sleep(1)



main()

Function exit_data() runs at given time and it prints Exiting but do not exit. It only prints Exiting and then it keeps running. I have also used quit instead of sys.exit(). Please help. Thanks

How can you tell that the script is not exiting? Can you provide a bit more information on what's going on?

Try to send signal to yourself :p

import schedule

from threading import Thread

import time

import sys

import os

import signal





def exit_data():

    print("Exiting")



    # sys.exit()

    os.kill(os.getpid(), signal.SIGTERM)



def exit_data_thread():

    schedule.every(3).seconds.do(exit_data)

    while True:

        schedule.run_pending()

        time.sleep(1)





def main():

    Thread(target=exit_data_thread).start()



    while True:

        time.sleep(1)



main()

To close the entire program within a thread, you can use os._exit(). Calling sys.exit() will only exit the thread, not the entire program.
