.bashrc not sourced from script when run as a cron job

Question

I have a bash script that is invoked from a cron job which has the following lines:

source ~/.bashrc
jruby run.rb 

.bashrc adds jruby to the path.

I am able to invoke the script directly on a terminal but the cron fails with "jruby not found"

Any pointers ?

Answer 1

Your must set your PATH in the script so that jruby is included in it.
