Crontab unexpected character found in line about whenever HOT 7 CLOSED

Please run 'whenever' with no options and past the output. It won't touch your crontab file.

PATH=/opt/local/bin:/opt/local/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/sfw/bin:/usr/ucb:/etc:.

from whenever.

The above path is the most recent "whenever" i get if I just cd into the release directory and call "whenever"

Solaris (and probably some other unices) don't support setting the path in a crontab, it has to be set systemwide (in /etc/default/cron).

Would be good to have an option to disable the PATH= line

As a workaround, I added the following to my schedule.rb

if RUBY_PLATFORM =~ /solaris/i
  set :set_path_automatically, false
end

seems to have done the trick.

Awesome. Sorry, I forgot you could turn that off -- you're on a roll!
