I have written a simple python script which creates new Kubernates jobs running on DO managed Kubernates.
It works fine when I run it manually, but when scheduled from cron (under the same user), I get an error begining “No such file or directory: ‘doctl’”
I’m using the downloaded Kube config from the DO Kubernates management.

Hi there,
I could suggest putting the full path to the
doctlbinary in your corn job.You could get the path with the following command:
Let me know how it goes. Regards, Bobby
It turns out the fix was to edit the kube config file and replace
cmd: doctlwith the full path to doctl.
