Using RVM in a Crontab
If you use rvm and need to run a crontab in your server, then you know that it doesn’t work out of the box. The first thing that you might try to do would be something like this:
1 0 * * * bundle exec ruby /your/awesome/script.rb
However you will see all kind of error messages like Gemfile not found and similar errors.
The correct way to run it, is to invoke directly your ruby installation from your rvm gemset:
1 0 * * * /usr/local/rvm/bin/ruby-1.9.2-p290@awesomeProject /your/awesome/script.rb
I hope this is helpful.
