On my production stack, I have a front-end server and a Mongo server. I would like to be able to set a cron job on the front-end server to create some logs daily.

I wrote a script that does this:

./mongo server:27017/dbname --quiet my_commands.js

If I run it from the Mongo server as above, it works fine. However, I would like to be able to run it from the front-end server. When I try to do that, I get:

-bash: mongo: command not found

Since mongo is not installed on the front end server, it gives me that error.

Is it possible to somehow bind mongo to my mongo on the Mongo server?
