Hello - I have a rake task that I’d like to schedule a cron to run. My Rails 4 droplet is running Ubuntu 12.10 (Nginx + Unicorn).
Here’s what I have in crontab: SHELL=/bin/bash PATH=/sbin:/bin/usr/bin HOME=/ MAILTO=“xxx@gmail.com”
-
-
-
-
- /bin/bash -l -c ‘source ~/.bash_profile && cd /home/rails && RAILS_ENV=production bin/rake populate:fetch_nr_songs’
-
-
-
I get this error /etc/profile.d/rvm.sh: line 9: ps: command not found /etc/profile.d/rvm.sh: line 10: ps: command not found /usr/local/rvm/scripts/rvm: line 96: dirname: command not found ERROR: Missing proper ‘which’ command. Make sure it is installed before using RVM!
Any fix would be much appreciated thanks

Now I get this error message: <br>/bin/bash: //.bash_profile: No such file or directory <br>
That’s because you have HOME set to <code>/</code>. Delete that line too.
Did it have all those variables by default? Try resetting it to how it was before you edited it and using <code>crontab -e</code> to edit the cron instead.
