Hi! I made docker: Dockerfile: FROM ruby:2.7 RUN mkdir /usr/src/app WORKDIR /usr/src/app COPY Gemfile Gemfile.lock ./ RUN gem install bundler RUN bundle install COPY ./ ./ RUN chmod +x docker-entrypoint.sh ## CMD [“./docker-entrypoint.sh”] docker-entrypoint.sh ## #!/bin/sh echo 'date.local upload script started at: ’ ( date ‘+%F %H:%M:%S’ ) ruby /usr/local/bundle/gems/ckan\_cli-1.0.2/exe/cli.rb upload -d [http://date.local/register.csv](http://date.local/register.csv) -c conf.json -r res.json -w echo 'date.local upload script ended at: ’ ( date ‘+%F %H:%M:%S’ ) exit 0; If I start ./docker-entrypoint.sh to do manually in docher bash or from dockerd docker exec -it date.local ./docker-entrypoint.sh script work well. But I need to made crontab job, and one time in day execute this script. I install cron. I made crontab job: 20 22 \* \* \* /usr/src/app/docker-entrypoint.sh \>\> /var/log/date.local/ `date +\%Y\%m\%d` -date.local.log 2\>&1 But I get the error: /usr/src/app/docker-entrypoint.sh: 4: /usr/src/app/docker-entrypoint.sh: ruby: not found I finded more advice internet, But they not work ☹ How resolve it? ---

`docker-entrypoint.sh`'s formatting is broken so it’s a little hard to read - but in cron, the full path of the executable needs to be used. ---
