Hi guys, I’m having an issue with Cron to work.This is what I have in the crontab, that’s supposed to run every 5 minutes on Thursday:
SHELL=/bin/sh PATH=/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin */5 * * * 4 root cd /home/rails/jukely-web && rails runner -e production ‘Pinger.send_test_sms’
But it’s not running. If I execute cd /home/rails/jukely-web && rails runner -e production ‘Pinger.send_test_sms’ from the console it runs fine.
Am I missing something in the syntax or config I wonder. I read the docs and checked the other questions but no dice.
Thanks, Bora

Just did that and still not working. I’d be happy to give you access to the droplet and put an end to this month long ticket :)
Try creating a file with this as its contents: <br><pre>#!/bin/bash <br>PATH=/usr/local/rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.3-p448/bin/rails:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin <br>cd /home/rails/jukely-web <br>rails runner -e production ‘Pinger.send_test_sms’ </pre> <br>and editing your crontab file to look like this: <br><pre>* * * * * bash /path/to/file</pre>
Yeah I tried removing root before and now again and it didn’t help. I’m happy to give you access to the droplet if you’d like to take a look. Thanks Kamal! <br> <br>Bora
