Try to call rake file with cronjob

Question

This I am starting in the prompt:

root@debian{/usr/share}:rake /usr/share/redmine/Rakefile redmine:email:receive_pop3 RAILS_ENV="production" host=mail.dd.com port=995 username=test password=D ssl=true project=Helpdesk --trace

And this is the trace for it:

rake aborted!
No Rakefile found (looking for: rakefile, Rakefile, rakefile.rb, Rakefile.rb)
/var/lib/gems/2.1.0/gems/rake-10.5.0/lib/rake/application.rb:684:in `raw_load_rakefile'
/var/lib/gems/2.1.0/gems/rake-10.5.0/lib/rake/application.rb:94:in `block in load_rakefile'

/usr/local/bin/rake:23:in `load'
/usr/local/bin/rake:23:in `'

When I go into the folder /usr/share/redmine then it works without a problem.

Do i call it false?

Edit: The Image from the filesystem:

Are you sure /usr/share/redmine/Rakefileexists? Also note Linux file system is case sensitive. — robsch

You have to call it correctly. Go to the redmine directory and omit the file since rake will find Rakefile itself.

root@debian{/usr/share/redmine}:rake redmine:email:receive_pop3 ...

Use -f or --rakefile if the Rakefile has a different name:

root@debian{/usr/share/redmine}:rake -f different_rake_file_name redmine:email:receive_pop3 ...

From the doc:

% rake [options ...] [VAR=VALUE ...] [targets ...]

...

--rakefile filename (-f)

Use filename as the name of the rakefile. The default rakefile names are rakefile and Rakefile (with rakefile taking precedence). If the rakefile is not found in the current directory, rake will search parent directories for a match. The directory where the Rakefile is found will become the current directory for the actions executed in the Rakefile.
