Make these LEDs stay on

[duckredbeard]

When I run this in Thonny IDE, the LEDs light up like they are supposed to and the rest of the code works fine. when I run this as a cronjob I get everything except the LEDs. How do I make the LEDs persist until the cron job runs again on the next tenth minute (*/10 * * * *)?

import time

from gpiozero import LED
from gpiozero import Button

#Define LED indicators - these are GPIO numbers
LED1 = LED(21) #Blue
LED2 = LED(26) #Red
LED3 = LED(20) #Amber
LED4 = LED(19) #Green
LED5 = LED(16) #Green
LED6 = LED(13) #Green
LED7 = LED(6) #Green
LED8 = LED(12) #Green
LED9 = LED(5) #Pink


EMULATE_HX711=False

reset = Button(18)
#def reset():
#    average = keg1
#    print("Average has been reset to current weight")
    
#reset.when_released = reset

referenceUnit = 1

if not EMULATE_HX711:
    import RPi.GPIO as GPIO
    from hx711 import HX711
else:
    from emulated_hx711 import HX711




hx = HX711(27, 22)
hx.set_reading_format("MSB", "MSB")
hx.set_reference_unit(1)
#hx.reset()
#hx.tare()

        
keg1 = hx.get_weight() + 250000
keg1 = keg1 - 75700
print(keg1)

alert = "Keg1Q " + str(keg1)
base = "autoremotejoaomgcd.appspot.com/sendmessage?key=SecretDeviceIDHiddenForSecurity&message="
alerturl = "https://"+base+alert
r = requests.post(alerturl)

percent = (keg1/502700) * 100
print(percent)
percentT = str(round(percent, 2))
print(percentT)

if 1 >= percent <= 102: #keg is outside of usable range - flashes when keg is missing (indicating tare is complete at startup)
    LED1.blink(.2,.2)

    LED1.off()
