In my schedule:

every 10.minutes do
  runner "Model.method"
end

Whenever created this in my crontabs

0,10,20,30,40,50 * * * * /bin/bash -l -c 'cd /home/projects/Monitoring && script/rails runner -e development '\''Model.method'\'''

I tried to run the command in my console and it works. Why does it not work automaticly, i am going insane!

In my syslog

  • Do you have cron running locally? You can also add `set :output, File.join(path, 'log', 'cron.log')` in your schedule.rb to log the output. – jemminger Mar 11 '11 at 20:08

I am on Ubuntu 10.10 and had the same problem.
Turns out the -l option does not load the environment as expected, but -i does. (see this issue)

As the issue thread states, the fix is to edit your schedule.rb and add: 

set :job_template, "/bin/bash -i -c ':job'"
