How to start scripts with cron job when using virtual environment?

[haemmer-dave]

Hello. I see that the luma projects now require a virtual environment. When I configure a cron job to start an example automatically on boot, do I need to point to the python executable from the venv? Or can I use the python executable from the base system installation? Could we add this detail to the docs as well, please?

Use the python executable from the venv.

PRs are welcome!

Why do you say you need a virtual environment? I am running my app without and it works fine.
