apsScheduler not running in the background

Question

Answer 1

The infinite loop in the try block is the blocking operation and is not part of the scheduled job, hence it is the expected behaviour of the code to keep running until an exception is occurred which can be triggered using `Ctrl+C`.
So the `BackgroundScheduler` is still running in the background but your main thread is blocking.

APScheduler is meant to run jobs inside the python application but not to achieve OS level scheduling. It uses threads and threads will be terminated as soon as their parent process terminates.

So simply you cannot achieve the expected behaviour just using the python and APScheduler, you still need to keep running the parent process in the background to keep running the APScheduler jobs.

To run the python application process in the background on linux systems you can simply use ampersand after your command, for instance:
$ start &

The vm should not freeze just by starting the process in background, check your resources consumption, this might be the low RAM issue. And if you want to keep running the scheduler when you close the shell, you can execute the program as a service. You can run the services on linux and windows both.
