Question

I am using the “whenever” Ruby gem and RVM to control my rubies/gemsets. When I try using whenever, I see the following error.

/bin/bash: not found

Answer 1

It Appears the whenever gem has /bin/bash hardcoded

set :job_template, "/bin/bash -l -c ':job'"

Not all OS put bash in the same place.

It would appear that you are using an operating system where bash is not in /bin (probably in /usr/bin or /usr/local/bin)

You will need to update the job_template to match the location of bash or you could do

set :job_template, "bash -l -c ':job'"

To let the shell locate the correct version of bash for you.
