Ubuntu - aws location

[toby1kenobi]

On a fresh install of Ubuntu server (14.04.4), when you install the AWS CLI using pip the executable seems to end up in /usr/local/bin, so when using ec2-automate-backup.sh cron-primer.sh needs to be modified to reflect this; maybe worth adding a comment to this effect?

I have this problem. How do I can fix?

In cron-primer.sh add the bin location to the PATH variable:

export PATH=/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/bin

I spent a damn load of time trying to resolve this issue. Somehow my script does not catch/execute cron-primer file, even if i specify it with -c /path/to/cron-primer.sh. In addition my command seems to redirect only STDOUT output to log file only and i saw an empty file that pissed me off.

As a final workaround-solution i just used sudo ln -s /usr/local/bin/aws /usr/bin/aws and everything went good.
