How to configure magento2 cron with mamp

Question

I followed the tutorial here: http://devdocs.magento.com/guides/v2.0/config-guide/cli/config-cli-subcommands-cron.html and tried configuring the crons with mamp but in readiness check for upgrade it still shows as not working.

In crontab (sudo crontab -u user -e) I have:

*/1 * * * * php -c /Library/Application\ Support/appsolute/MAMP\ PRO/conf/php.ini /User/magento-2/bin/magento cron:run >> /User/magento-2/var/log/setup.cron.log&
*/1 * * * * php -c /Library/Application\ Support/appsolute/MAMP\ PRO/conf/php.ini /User/magento-2/update/cron.php >> /User/magento-2/var/log/setup.cron.log&
*/1 * * * * php -c /Library/Application\ Support/appsolute/MAMP\ PRO/conf/php.ini /User/magento-2/bin/magento setup:cron:run >> /User/magento-2/var/log/setup.cron.log&

I tried with /usr/bin/php instead of php but still not working. The path to the php.ini file is the one that the webserver loads with phpinfo(). Could it be that the cron is trying to use another php.ini? There are no errors in the logs.

It tuned out that I had to specify the mamp php:

*/1 * * * * /Applications/MAMP/bin/php/php7.0.0/bin/php -c /Library/Application\ Support/appsolute/MAMP\ PRO/conf/php.ini /Users/magento-2/bin/magento cron:run >> /Users/magento-2/var/log/setup.cron.log&
*/1 * * * * /Applications/MAMP/bin/php/php7.0.0/bin/php -c /Library/Application\ Support/appsolute/MAMP\ PRO/conf/php.ini /Users/magento-2/update/cron.php >> /Users/magento-2/var/log/setup.cron.log&
*/1 * * * * /Applications/MAMP/bin/php/php7.0.0/bin/php -c /Library/Application\ Support/appsolute/MAMP\ PRO/conf/php.ini /Users/magento-2/bin/magento setup:cron:run >> /Users/magento-2/var/log/setup.cron.log&
