I got the cron working by doing two things. Using Tar2RubyScript and then the crontab syntax below: */5 * * * * ruby /var/www/quickbase/sae_sync/auto_sync.rb Before I had: */5 * * * * /var/www/quickbase/sae_sync/ruby auto_sync.rb That being said, I am going to learn how to create some .sh scripts and I think that will be useful. Thank you for all the help. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
