If I had looked up whenever before replying then my post might have

Alex Mercer: Whenever just helps to use cron with simple ruby syntax. To make it run cronjobs. You need to: 1. Exec in your project folder: wheneverize . This will create config/schedule.rb file. 2. There type some action needed to be done with cron: every 3.hours do rake "my:rake:task" end 3. Save it and execute that whenever --update-crontab This will update crontab file. You can ensure that crontab is written by crontab -l 4. And final point restart cron sudo services cron restart Enjoy =) -- You
