I have a number of custom scripts that run at the console. Now I want cron to take over and run them on a daily basis. If I /usr/bin/run-parts /etc/cron.daily at the console all jobs run fine. However, if I leave it to cron and check next day there was no indication the scripts had run at all. No change in output to log. I wonder if ruby is not able to run under the cron shell (is it that different than sh?). Has anyone had to deal with this or can offer a suggestion?

I have several rails scripts that run
ruby /dir/to/app/script/runner ''Actions''
and they run just fine. This is on Arch Linux. If you can run them
through the cron command manually, I don''t see why it wouldn''t
work from
crond. Could it be some sort of permissions issue?

The difference seems to be in how I run the script. ruby /path/script/my_script Now that you mention it I vaguely recall reference to runner usage. Let see if I have this right. I should ruby script/generate task my_script then ruby /path/script/runner ''MyScript'' to run it. Any thoughts?

Hi, Long, Search the archive of this list for "cron mazel tov" and read to the end of that thread. It might help.

But did find many postings when search with "cron". I believe my scripts were missing the ruby initialization line. #!/usr/bin/env ruby require File.dirname(__FILE__) + ''/../config/boot'' Line taken from script/generate and the likes. I already had the require environment line needed to access my models. require File.dirname(__FILE__) + ''/../config/environment'' I think I will create a utility class and put all my scripts there. It will help clean up my code for sure. Then I can use script/runner to start the process. In this way all scripts will run under one rails env instead of a separate one for each.
