This might be a bit OT, but I've never had to do this before and what I've
googled doesn't seem to be working.
I have an ansible playbook that I'm working on that I want to run as a
cronjob. One task I'm having trouble with is where I have a text file with
lines like:
rd.pl "blah blah"
rd.pl "blah blah blah"
This text file has to be 'executed' using 'bash filename.txt'. (Don't ask
why, I'm working on code that isn't mine.) When I run the playbook in a
console this bit works perfectly. However, when it's being run from cron, it
dies with 'rd.pl: command not found'. My original thought is that cron's
$PATH is missing the location to this rd.pl file (it's in /root/bin), so one
suggestion from the Google was to add the path into /etc/crontab, but I'm
still having the same problem. At this stage, I've no idea what to try
next. Any ideas?
In your crontab, try
env PATH="$PATH:/root/bin" bash filename.txt
