hi there, I’ve troubles with the letsencrypt renew script. I’ve added an cronjob on my debian 8 server with the following command 0 6 1 * * /root/.local/share/letsencrypt/bin/letsencrypt renew in the logs I’ve got the following error: 2016-05-01 04:00:06,689:INFO:letsencrypt.cli:Could not choos…

thanks again, the other thread showed the solution my .bash script now looks like this: #!/bin/sh PATH=output of echo $PATH /root/.local/share/letsencrypt/bin/letsencrypt renew and now it works
