Answer 1

I run into the same problem ...

Perl script works but not via CRON => error: "perl: command not found"

... after an update from Plesk 12.0 to Plesk 12.5. But the existing answers were not very helpful for me.

It took some time, but than I found this thread in the Odin forum which helps me: https://talk.plesk.com/threads/scheduled-tasks-always-fail.331821/

They suggest the following:

/usr/local/psa/bin/server_pref -u -crontab-secure-shell ""

That deletes in the /var/spool/cron/crontabs files the line:

SHELL="/opt/psa/bin/chrootsh"

After that, my cron jobs run with out any error.
