Multi file running

Hi, I'm a beginner in this topic, so I would like to ask for help, I have a flask subsystem, in this case app.py which I call in the procfile and it starts perfectly, but there is another timed py called timer.py which is also next to the app, my question is if this timer calls 3 more files at specified intervals which are timed, how can I make the procfile run everything?

The principle:

- app.py

-timer.py - fiel1, file2, file3

All called files are closed soon, but the app and timer process should run.

I tried this in the forums but it didn't call the files.

web: python app.py

worker: python timer.py

Thanks for your help.

Hello,

You would want two different Railway services in your Railway project.

One service would have its start command set to python app.py

The other service would have its start command set to python timer.py

Each service would deploy from the same GitHub repository and have the same service variables.

Please review this page to familureise yourself with the terminology I have just used -

Best,
Brody

Hi, Brody!

Thank you very much for your reply! If I understand correctly, I create the same repo twice, set app.py in the 'Custom start command' section and then I call the repo again and set the timer.py ?

Thank you very much for your help!

If by "call the repo again" you mean deploy a new service, then yes absolutely!

Hi, yes, I mean that I'm re-running it from github, just changing the startup command.
