Command schedule in Laravel

Question

I\'m trying to a execute scheduled command every five minutes in background. I use this code

protected function schedule(Schedule $schedule)
    {

        $         


        

Answer 1

If you want to use the scheduler you need to add a Cron entry in your server, this line will call the Laravel scheduler every minute and do the tasks.

There is the line you need to add to your Crontab:

* * * * * php /path-to-your-project/artisan schedule:run >> /dev/null 2>&1

In case you are using Ubuntu to edit your crontab you can run crontab -e and add the line on the bottom.

You can read more on the official docs about Scheduling.

If you are using Windows you can follow this Stackoverflow question to add a task to the Windows task scheduler.
