    This depends on the system, you're on. On Linux, you would use cron. On Windows, you would use Task Scheduler. With Python alone, maybe http://stackoverflow.com/q/373335/1741542 – Olaf Dietsche Oct 06 '16 at 22:08

How to run django application in background?

This question makes no sense. Django is a web based framework. What do you mean by running a web application in background?

I think you want to ask: How to run periodic background tasks in Django application?

For that purpose you may use Celery. Celery with the help of Message Queueing service allows you to perform tasks in background. It also supports execution of custom script at mentioned duration. Check: Periodic tasks in Celery

You can use docker And then you can run your web application in the background..... DockerFile

If you want to run script background you can you CRONTAB or scheduler.
