I've a bash script that runs a ruby script that fetches my twitter feeds.
## /home/username/twittercron
#!/bin/bash
cd /home/username/twitter
ruby twitter.rb friends
It runs successfully in command line.
/home/username/twittercron
But when I try to run it as a cronjob, it ran but wasn't able to fetch the feeds.
## crontab -e
*/15 * * * * * /home/username/twittercron
The script has been chmod +x. Not sure why it's as such. Any ideas?
