If you create a wrapper for your specific, RVM-managed version of ruby (optionally with a specific gemset) then you can reference the wrapper script as if *IT* were your ruby. The upshot is that the wrapper sets up all the environment variables correctly so that ruby and rubygems will work correctly. Since it looks like you've got a system-wide RVM install, you might to something like the following: $ rvm wrapper ruby-1.9.2 cron This would create the following in /usr/local/rvm/bin cron_erb cron_gem cron_irb cron_rake cron_rdoc cron_ri cron_ruby cron_testrb You can then run these directly or reference them in system scripts (like cron jobs). When you run these wrapper versions for the various executables, the paths will first be set up correctly and it should just work: MYPATH=/usr/local/rvm/bin $MYPATH/cron_ruby runner test.rb -e test -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
