I made a management app imaginitively called update. The following work fine from the command line:
./manage.py update
/full/path/manage.py update
But when I have the following cron command:
00 */3 * * * /websites/bnc/manage.py update >/dev/null
It emails me this error:
Unknown command: ‘update’
Type ‘manage.py help’ for usage.
It smells like a path issue but I can’t see how because I can call it manually from wherever. Any idea what’s going on here?
The environment is likely not the same, so PYTHONPATH/PATH are not set. It might fail to find import django (or python/lib/site-packages).
