Help with Everytime Stone in Ruby for cron tasks

I have not used cron before, so I cannot be sure that I did it correctly. The tasks I want to automate do not seem to work. I have done these steps in the terminal:

  • sudo gem install when
  • change application directory
  • everytime. (this created the schedule.rb file)

  • I added this code to schedule.rb:

    every 10.minutes do
  runner "User.vote", environment => "development"
end


every :hour do
  runner "Digest.rss", :environment => "development"
end

  • I added this code to deploy.rb:

    after "deploy:symlink", "deploy:update_crontab"


namespace :deploy do
  desc "Update the crontab file"
  task :update_crontab, :roles => :db do
    run "cd #{current_path} && whenever --update-crontab #{application}"
  end
end

  • I did it in the terminal: whenever

  • He returned:

    @hourly cd /Users/RedApple/S && script/runner -e development 'Digest.rss'


0,10,20,30,40,50 * * * * cd /Users/RedApple/S && script/runner -e development 'User.vote'

  • Executing these commands individually in the terminal works:

    script/runner -e development 'Digest.rss'
script/runner -e development 'User.vote'

  • Now running the local server in script / server development mode, I see no evidence that this code is actually running. Is there any step that I have not taken? No manuals for "Whenever" show anything other than what I did.
