+===== How to Run a Python Script in a Cron Scheduler in a Specific Anaconda Virtual Environment =====
 To run a Python script in a specific Anaconda virtual environment using a cron scheduler, follow these steps:
   - **Create a Shell Script**: Write a shell script to activate the virtual environment and run your Python script. Save this script, for example, as `run_script.sh`:
-    ```
+    <code bash>
     #!/bin/bash
     source /path/to/anaconda/envs/your_env_name/bin/activate
     python /path/to/your_script.py
     deactivate
-    ```
+    </code>
     Replace `/path/to/anaconda/envs/your_env_name/` with the actual path to your Anaconda environment and `/path/to/your_script.py` with the path to your Python script.
   - **Make the Script Executable**: Give the script execute permissions:
-    ```
+    <code bash>
     chmod +x /path/to/run_script.sh
-    ```
+    </code>
   - **Edit the Crontab**: Open the crontab file to schedule your script:
-    ```
+    <code bash>
     crontab -e
-    ```
+    </code>
     Add a cron job entry to run your script at the desired schedule. For example, to run it every hour, you would add:
-    ```
+    <code python>
 * * * * /path/to/run_script.sh
-    ```
+    </code>
     This example runs the script at the beginning of every hour.
