I am having an issue implementating a Cron Job for my Laravel application on a Apache/CPanel shared server. I have a task command that works fine whenever i run it from the command line and also works fine when called daily but it is not running on a "Once a day" schedule.
The Cron Job bellow works perfectly when called each minute only if the Laravel command is also called everyMinute() as shown:
Cron call
php -d register_argc_argv=On /home/path/domain.com/artisan schedule:run > /dev/null 2>&1
Server schedule * * * * *
Laravel command:
$schedule->command('alert:dailly')->everyMinute();
The problem is that the command that i really want to work is once a day, and that doesn't work. The same command that once worked fine each minutes its just not called when once a day, as follows:
Cron call
php -d register_argc_argv=On /home/path/domain.com/artisan schedule:run > /dev/null 2>&1
Server schedule 0 0 * * *
Laravel command:
$schedule->command('alert:dailly')->cron('0 0 * * * *');
or
$schedule->command('alert:dailly')->daily();
Is there anything wrong?
Thank you!
You don't need to change the server schedule on your daily call.
There should be one artisan cron on your server like so:
* * * * * php /path-to-your-project/artisan schedule:run >> /dev/null 2>&1
This cron will be called every 1 minute and when it does, Laravel will evaluate your scheduled tasks.
Later on your code use the daily:
$schedule->command('cmd-name:op')->daily();
Daily will run the task every day at midnight.
For other schedule frequencies check the docs
