Is it possible to set the PATH or SHELL variable in a crontab via the whenever schedule.rb file?
# here I want to set the PATH and SHELL variable somehow
every 3.hours do
# some cronjob
end
I want this output in my crontab after my capistrano deploy:
SHELL=/bin/bash
PATH=/usr/local/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/sbin:/usr/sbin:/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/bin/X11
# some cronjobs
Ok, it seems as I found the solution. I found it here: https://gist.github.com/jjb/950975
I will update this answer when I have tested it
I have to put this into my schedule.rb
# If your ruby binary isn't in a standard place (for example if it's in /usr/local/bin,
# because you installed it yourself from source, or from a thid-party package like REE),
# this tells whenever (or really, the rails runner) where to find it.
env :PATH, '/bin:/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/local/sbin'
