How can I setup a schedule for exact minute of every hour?

[mickey9801]

I have setup a raspberry pi for read temperature and humidity from sensor and I would like it to publish those data to a MQTT broker at 00,15,30,45 minute of every hour, like weather report of observatory . How can I setup this schedule?

I have setup a schedule like this: schedule.every(15).minutes.do(read_n_publish) but it can only run the job every 15 minute from the time I start run the program.

I have a similar requirement.

@mickey9801 This is really simple.

The whole schedule package implementation is sequential. And, you could solve the problem like this.
`schedule.every(15).minutes.do(read_n_publish)
schedule.every(30).minutes.do(read_n_publish)
schedule.every(45).minutes.do(read_n_publish)

while True:
schedule.run_pending()
time.sleep(1)`

What this will do is it will run the code every 15, 30, 45 minutes.

Some work on that happening here: #116

@fauzanm You would only need to schedule every(15). Yours would result in stacking. It would also be contingent upon the script being started at exactly minute 00.

Exactly, so the @fauzanbaigm solution wouldn't work correctly, i.e. it wouldn't run at exactly e.g. 12:30, but it would run at e.g. 12:38.

I need this functionality as well.
