Rails hourly cron jobs using Whenever fails to run hourly

On Redhat, using Whenever. My cron jobs fail to run hourly. I need help as to why.

Schedule.rb

every 1.hours do
  rake "deathburrito:all", :environment => "development"
  rake "bamboo:all", :environment => "development"
  rake "jira:grab_data", :environment => "development"
end

Crontab -l

0 * * * * /bin/bash -l -c 'cd /var/www/qadashboard && RAILS_ENV=production bundle exec rake deathburrito:all --silent'

0 * * * * /bin/bash -l -c 'cd /var/www/qadashboard && RAILS_ENV=development bundle exec rake bamboo:all --silent'

0 * * * * /bin/bash -l -c 'cd /var/www/qadashboard && RAILS_ENV=development bundle exec rake jira:grab_data --silent'

Can anyone help me? I am not even sure what else I should be checking.

Append log to config/schedule.rb 

set :output, "/var/log/cron"

and create this file 'cron' in /var/log and give it write permission.

Execute

  bundle exec whenever --update-crontab
  sudo /etc/init.d/cron restart

To see the logs:

tail -f /var/log/cron

will give you more insight on the error.

Add

[email protected]

to your crontab. Then enjoy the error reports from cron.

If that won't solve the issue, post the error report here.

bundle will have to be in that subshell's path. Try specifying a full-blown /usr/bin/bundle (or whatever it is).
