Good Evening Robert!

Thanks for supporting me with my silly but serious problem.. :)

I have spotted a big difference between the $LOAD_PATH of the shell and
executing the same from the cronjob. How can I set the correct
$LOAD_PATH inside the rubyscript?

$LOAD_PATH of the shell:
/usr/local/lib/ruby/site_ruby:/usr/local/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8:/usr/local/lib/ruby/1.8/:/usr/local/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/i686-linux/:/usr/local/lib/ruby/1.8/i686-linux/:/usr/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8:/usr/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/i686-linux:/usr/lib/ruby/site_ruby:/usr/lib/ruby/1.8:/usr/lib/ruby/1.8/i686-linux:.

$LOAD_PATH of the cronjob:
/usr/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8:/usr/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/i686-linux:/usr/lib/ruby/site_ruby:/usr/lib/ruby/1.8:/usr/lib/ruby/1.8/i686-linux:.

Now that's a difference.. :)

Any suggestions on how I may add the missing paths?

regards,
