Good evening. Set up a task in /etc/cron.d/upload:

5 4 * * * root python /var/www/webapps/mysite.ru/upload.py > /dev/null 2>&1 5 5 * * * root python /var/www/webapps/mysite.biz/upload.py > /dev/null 2>&1

Tell me, please, why he doesn’t want to work (there’s an empty line at the end of the file, something like it should have been written somewhere). OS debian, reboot the machine. In the logs:

Make sure that the cron process is running, for example, using the ps command.

 ps uax | grep cron

if it is not in the process, try to start it

 /etc/init.d/cron start

if it is observed in the processes, try restarting

 /etc/init.d/cron restart
