{
        $restart = 'php-cli ' . base_path() . '/artisan queue:restart > /dev/null & echo $!'; 
        $work = 'php-cli ' . base_path() . '/artisan queue:work --timeout=0 --sleep=5 --tries=3 > /dev/null & echo $!';
        exec($restart);
        exec($work);
}

$job = (new jobName())->delay(Carbon::now()->addSeconds(5));
dispatch($job);

Reason

The reason I have used these two commands is because the command associated with $restart prevent having any memory issue according to a comment in this answer and the command associated with $work ensures that the command is successfully executed before the job.
