ey_cloud_report "whenever" do
  message "starting whenever recipe"
end

# Set your application name here
appname = "therapylogs"

if ['solo', 'util'].include?(node[:instance_role])

  # be sure to replace "app_name" with the name of your application.
  local_user = node[:users].first
  execute "whenever" do
    cwd "/data/#{appname}/current"
    user local_user[:username]
    command "whenever --update-crontab '#{appname}_#{node[:environment][:framework_env]}'"
    action :run
  end
  
  ey_cloud_report "whenever" do
    message "whenever recipe complete"
  end
end

thx for this.

This is great! Thank you.

Just thought I would mention that in my case I had to add "bundle exec" in the command.

command " bundle exec whenever --update-crontab '#{appname}_#{node[:environment][:framework_env]}'"

Thanks for sharing, really helpful. You can also use appname = node[:applications].keys.first
