whenever cron is not working with rails-3

Question

I'm using Whenever for the first time. My cron is not working on the production server.

I m using rails-3.1.2

In my schedule.rb file

every :hour do # Many shortcuts available: :hour, :day, :month, :year, :reboot
  runner "Report.create_report", :environment=>"development"
end

every 2.minutes do
    runner "Report.create_report2" , :environment=>"development"
end

In my Report model file

  def self.create_report
    r = Report.new
    r.ad_network_campaign_id =1
    r.ad_network_campaign_name=2
    r.save
  end

  def self.create_report2
    r = Report.new
    r.ad_network_campaign_id =5
    r.ad_network_campaign_name=5
    r.save
  end

After this I run the command

whenever --update-crontab <project_name>

In my crontab

crontab -l
# Begin Whenever generated tasks for: project_name
0 * * * * /bin/bash -l -c 'cd /var/www/jigserv && script/rails runner -e production '\''Report.create_report'\'''

0,2,4,6,8,10,12,14,16,18,20,22,24,26,28,30,32,34,36,38,40,42,44,46,48,50,52,54,56,58 * * * * /bin/bash -l -c 'cd /var/www/jigserv && script/rails runner -e production '\''Report.create_report2'\'''

# End Whenever generated tasks for: project_name

In the last my data is not inserted in the Report table as I want.

Dude, its complete off the topic but there are lot of issues using whenever in Rails 3. I would recommend you to migrate to Resque. It is dead simple and less hassle than whenever. And here is resque-scheduler for same. Here is a railscasts that should get you started.
