# cron with rbenv

## Check your environmental values

You use `rbenv` and create some ruby script and now set it to `cron`.

```
43 19 * * * ruby your_ruby_script.rb
```

Later, you find it does not work while your `syslog` says that the job itself is propary triggered.

Then, it is most likely because of `cron` environmental value. Check this:
```
crontab -e

43 19 * * * ruby -v; /home/ubuntu/.rbenv/shims/ruby -v >> /tmp/ruby.type
```

In my case, the out put is:
```
cat /tmp/ruby.type
ruby 1.9.3p484 (2013-11-22 revision 43786) [x86_64-linux]
ruby 1.9.3p551 (2014-11-13 revision 48407) [x86_64-linux]
```

The script was grabbing wrong ruby with wrong set of `gem`s.
Correcting the ruby path soleved.

```
43 19 * * * /home/ubuntu/.rbenv/shims/ruby your_ruby_script.rb
```

Cheers,
