[webmin-l] Odd problems with cron jobs

I have a few cron jobs that send out reminders for the Redmine application.

They are executed on different servers with somewhat different 
configuration, but two of the mysteriously fail when executed via cron, 
but not when I re-do them on the command-line (exactly as the cron job 
is defined) or when I choose to run the job from Webmin.

The first one runs a shell script that contains:

#!/bin/bash
cd /usr/local/share/redmine
/usr/local/bin/bundle exec rake redmine:send_reminders days=14 
RAILS_ENV="production"

This one results in a message like this (sent via e-mail to me):

[31mbundler: command not found: rake
Install missing gem executables with `bundle install`

If I either run the shell script from the command-line, or manually 
enter the commands contained therein, or execute the shell script from 
Webmin, there are no error messages.


The second one looks like this when defined in cron:

cd /usr/share/redmine-3.3.0; /usr/local/bin/bundle exec rake 
redmine:send_reminders days=14 RAILS_ENV="production"

It generates an error that looks like this:

bundler: command not found: rake
Install missing gem executables with `bundle install`


But once again, if I either copy and paste all of that, it runs without 
a hitch. If I do the commands separately on the command-line, it works. 
If I run the job from Webmin, it works.
