I am trying to get a user data script working on EC2, Amazon Linux distro. The script does run, but for most commands, such as ec2-metadata or gem it complains about command not found. The tools are installed, and i can run them when I log in.



I guess, it has to do with the PATH not being set or something like that. How can I make the script behave as if I was running it in a shell?



Currently, I have started to work around with lines like the following, but it get's out of hand.
/usr/local/rvm/bin/rvm default do bundle install
