> Hi there. My goal is to run a Julia script from crontab. For this I need to be able to activate the correct Julia environment from the command line. I’m not sure how to do this. A possible solution I’ve found is to add code to the startup.jl such as: using Pkg if isfile("Project.toml") && isfile("Manifest.toml") Pkg.activate(".") end Is this an appropriate/best solution?

and add a project path :  
`julia --project=/path/to/your/project/folder /path/to/your/script.jl > /path/to/your/output.txt `
