I am attempting to execute this code in a cron job: <pre class="prettyprint"><code>a=`/home/mailmark/node/bin/forever list`; if [ "$a" == "No forever processes running" ]; then forever start /api.js; fi </code></pre> The file in question, 'forever' contains this shebang: <pre class="prettyprint"><code>#!usr/bin/env node </code></pre> It returns this response: <pre class="prettyprint"><code>/usr/bin/env: node: No such file or directory </code></pre> But I have this code on the last line of the .bashrc file: <pre class="prettyprint"><code>export PATH=/home/mailmark/node/bin:$PATH </code></pre> What should I do to make my cron work?

Use the full path to node: <pre class="prettyprint"><code>#!/usr/bin/env /home/mailmark/node/bin/node </code></pre>

<code>cron</code> doesn't run in a "login shell", so <code>.bash_profile</code> and <code>.bashrc</code> are not loaded.

add <code>. $HOME/.bashrc</code> to the beginning of your cron job.

Condition supplied in cron job returns "No such file or directory"

I am attempting to execute this code in a cron job:

a=`/home/mailmark/node/bin/forever list`; if [ "$a" == "No forever processes running" ]; then forever start /api.js; fi

The file in question, 'forever' contains this shebang:

#!usr/bin/env node

It returns this response:

/usr/bin/env: node: No such file or directory

But I have this code on the last line of the .bashrc file:

export PATH=/home/mailmark/node/bin:$PATH

What should I do to make my cron work?

Use the full path to node:

#!/usr/bin/env /home/mailmark/node/bin/node

cron doesn't run in a "login shell", so .bash_profile and .bashrc are not loaded.

add . $HOME/.bashrc to the beginning of your cron job.
