Crontab Issues

dubstep · December 5, 2011, 4:28pm

I’m not entirely sure if this is an IronRuby or a Mono issue, but here
goes! I have a test suite that we’re running on my Ubuntu server that
works
fine when I SSH in and run it manually, but when it tries to run from a
cron job I get the following exceptions:

Does anybody know why this might happen?

The error looks to be with running Mono under cron

WARNING: The runtime version supported by this application is
unavailable.
Using default runtime: v1.1.4322

That’s indicating mono is loading it’s version of the .NET 1.1 framework
(which dates to 2003), instead of the .NET 4.0 framework (2010), which
is
what is supported.

As to why mono under cron isn’t supporting .NET 4, I’m unsure. I’d
suspect
something to do with your PATH or other environment variables that
differ
when run under your local user account vs cron.

Yep, it was a PATH issue. Seems like cron has an extremely pared down
PATH
compared to regular users! Thanks!
