Make an HTTPS GET request to google.com every minute

Create the following file and name it test.py.

import cronner
import random
try:
    from urllib.request import urlopen
except:
    from urllib import urlopen

@cronner.register('* * * * *')
def write_randint():
    urlopen('https://google.com')

cronner.main()

Run this.

$ python test.py gen-cfg | crontab -

That's it.
