Ruby 1.9.3 @OSX Lion and Cron

Question

I installed Ruby 1.9.3p125 via this guide (up to point #5): LINK

Now I have this problem: my script works wonderfully from my command line, but if I execute it from Cron it seems to use a default environment and defaults to /usr/bin/ruby instead of mine (~/.rvm/rubies/ruby-1.9.3-p125/bin/ruby). What is the best way to have executed commands - manually or via cron - produce the same results?

PS: It seems to skip processing ~/.bash_login for example, where rvm is loaded into PATH

Answer 1

In your crontab line, you can source the .bash_login before you script is run.

source ~/.bash_login && <your original command here>

That way your script will have everything you have when you run it.
