Environment

• Example ~/.bash_profile:

  [[ -s "$HOME/.profile" ]] && source "$HOME/.profile" # Load the default .profile
  
  export RBENV_ROOT="${HOME}/.rbenv"
  
  if [ -d "${RBENV_ROOT}" ]; then
    export PATH="${RBENV_ROOT}/bin:${RBENV_ROOT}/plugins/ruby-build/bin:${PATH}"
    eval "$(rbenv init -)"
  fi
  
  export RAILS_ENV=production

rbenv

• Scheduled cron tasks don't recognize ~/.bashrc, so put special exports etc into ~/.bash_profile so that you can have rbenv built rubies in your cron jobs.

Whenever

• It does bash -l -c by default, so it will work with the above combination.

• Custom command definition for running commands within the release directory (e.g., Backup):

  job_type :command_wthin_path, 'cd :path && :environment_variable=:environment :task :output'
  
  every :day, at: '04:00' do
    # noinspection RubyResolve
    command_wthin_path 'backup perform -c backup/config.rb --trigger postgres',
                       output: 'backup/log/backup.log'
  end
