Are you not able to see the output of the cron job? The output should be logged somewhere or sent in an email - that depends on your hosting environment.
If you can't find that, you could move your command to a shell script that is referenced by the crontab. You can add code in that script to inspect the environment and/or capture the output of your rake command in your own log file. But you could use a little more information to help track down the problem. On Aug 31, 6:13 am, bingo bob <[email protected]> wrote: > Maybe, just unsure what.
