Unable to run cron on AMI 2 PHP Laravel due to environment variables not being accessible

[Ali-Shaikh]

I have followed the instruction here https://aws.amazon.com/premiumsupport/knowledge-center/elastic-beanstalk-env-variables-linux2/

and then created a corn like this

#!/bin/sh

# Create CRON files

# After the deployment finishes, set up a Crontab for
# the php artisan schedule:run command
echo "* * * * * ec2-user source <(sed -E -n 's/[^#]+/export &/ p' /opt/elasticbeanstalk/deployment/envvars) && /usr/bin/php /var/app/current/artisan schedule:run 1>> /dev/null 2>&1" \
  | sudo tee /etc/cron.d/artisan_scheduler

but it is not working. The application fails to execute the commands because the env vars are not accessible. I have tried creating cron jobs for root, webapp and ec2-user users but nothing is working.

Any help I can get would be much appreciated.
