Hey guys, hope someone can advise me. I got a free ubuntu server with Oracle and I managed to get PMM installed and running. I myself am on a Windows PC and I used Putty to connect to the Ubuntu Server.
If I close my putty session, will PMM continue to run ?

How are you running it?

Hi, I ran "python plex_meta_manager.py -r" via putty to the remote server

Then, no, it won't continue when you close the ssh session.

How can I run it so I can close the session ?

Simplest would be to run it in a screen.
type:
screen
hit return to dismiss the welcome message
type your command:
python plex_meta_manager.py -r
type control-a, d to send the screen to the background.
close the session.
When you log back in, screen -r will bring it back to the foreground.
You can't send the current instance to the background as it's running.

Just in case you're not aware, this command:
python plex_meta_manager.py -r
is going to run PMM just the one time.

is there a way I can get it to run like once a week ?
The screen command works great thanks !

The default behavior [if you were to leave that -r off] is to wake up once a day at 5AM to do its thing. If you want to schedule it less often that, there are details in the wiki:
https://metamanager.wiki/en/latest/home/guides/scheduling.html
If you want to keep it daily but change 5AM to some other time or times, you can do with runtime flags:
https://metamanager.wiki/en/latest/home/environmental.html#time-to-run
If you want to schedule different aspects to happen on different schedules, individual things [collections, operations] can be scheduled:
https://metamanager.wiki/en/latest/metadata/details/schedule.html
That last depends on the script running at the scheduled time; such a schedule won't start PMM.
