How to send mails automatically using whenever gem

I used when ever gem to send mails every day but it's not sending.I am using amazon linux ec2 instance. Please look at my code once.

schedule.rb:

every 5.minutes do
  runner "Listings.today_expired_spaces"
end

Listings.rb:(model-file)

  def today_expired_spaces
        @list=List.find_by_date(Date.today)
        UserMailer.today_expired_list(@list).deliver  
  end

In production:

After running these commands I am getting responses like this

1.whenever -w

[write] crontab file written

2.whenever -i [write] crontab file updated

3.whenever

0,5,10,15,20,25,30,35,40,45,50,55 * * * * /bin/bash -l -c 'cd /home/ubuntu/my_server && bundle exec script/rails runner -e production '\''Spaces.today_expired_spaces'\'''

[message] Above is your schedule file converted to cron syntax; your crontab file was not updated.

[message] Run `whenever --help' for more options.

Please provide solution to this.

you should make a rake task in lib/tasks folder and include the task to whenver schedule file in config/schedule.rb

in lib/tasks/send_mail_bang_bang.rake (filename just for example only)

require 'rake'
namespace :task_namespace do
  desc 'task description'
  task :send_mail => :environment do
    # call Listing method to send mail
    Listings.today_expired_spaces
  end
end

in config/schedule.rb

every 5.minutes do
  rake 'task_namespace:send_mail'
end

you can read more about rake task here in "custom-rake-tasks" part

hope it helps
