# Running the "build_sitemaps" routine
./manage.py cron build_sitemaps

./manage.py cron
Running individual cron routines is probably an obvious flow for Django experts but hopefully this is easier to find than searching through loads of documentation!

The CSS
The above CSS is extremely basic.
Hmmm, I’m fairly new to Django but I don’t see any management commands related to cron in Django 1.4 that I’m using.
Were you maybe using some Django app such as Django Cronjobs (https://github.com/jsocol/django-cronjobs), for example, to get that management command?
Keep up the good work with the posts!
