How to run a Ruby script using rbenv with cron

Question

I\'m trying to run a Ruby script using rbenv with cron. I know that I need to load rbenv in order to have the right Ruby version loaded.

I\'ve tried options like this

Answer 1

I've found a solution to load rbenv. Either with a loader importing rbenv to the PATH :

*/1 * * * * /bin/bash -c '. $HOME/.rbenv/loader.sh ; cd /data/app/; ruby -v'

The '.' before '$HOME/.rbenv/loader.sh' is important, it runs the script in the current shell

Or without loader, which is better :

*/1 * * * * /bin/bash -c 'export PATH="$HOME/.rbenv/bin:$PATH" ; eval "$(rbenv init -)"; cd /data/app/; ruby -v'
