I have a cron set on ubuntu to run some Laravel scheduled commands. It's running sometimes and stopping at random times. last week it did not run the commands for the whole week, the it started to run again yesterday. This morning it stopped again. I have tried everything but nothing seems to be solving the issue. What am i missing?
Here is the cron:
*/15 * * * * ubuntu cd /var/www/html && php artisan schedule:run >> /dev/null 2>&1
And Here is my Kernel.php:
namespace App\Console;
use Illuminate\Console\Scheduling\Schedule;
use Illuminate\Foundation\Console\Kernel as ConsoleKernel;
class Kernel extends ConsoleKernel
{
/**
* The Artisan commands provided by your application.
*
* #var array
*/
protected $commands = [
\App\Console\Commands\TrackData::class,
];
/**
* Define the application's command schedule.
*
* #param \Illuminate\Console\Scheduling\Schedule $schedule
* #return void
*/
protected function schedule(Schedule $schedule)
{
$schedule->command('data:track')->withoutOverlapping()
->everyFifteenMinutes()->appendOutputTo(storage_path().'/logs/laravel_output.log');
$schedule->command('queue:listen')->withoutOverlapping()
->everyFifteenMinutes()->appendOutputTo(storage_path().'/logs/laravel_output.log');
$schedule->command('delete:oldxml')->withoutOverlapping()
->dailyAt('00:01');
// $schedule->command('sitemap:generate')
// ->daily();
}
/**
* Register the commands for the application.
*
* #return void
*/
protected function commands()
{
$this->load(__DIR__.'/Commands');
require base_path('routes/console.php');
}
}
I've tried everything but nothing seems to solve the problem. What am i missing
it might be many reasons for this kind of problem where your crontab suddenly stopped working.
it might be related to crontab user. to solve the problem, you can try to delete all crontabs for both root and other users.
You can catch the script error into a log file for better investigation as following.
*/15 * * * * ubuntu cd /var/www/html && php artisan schedule:run >> /tmp/script.log 2>&1
it might be related to the PHP config. Your script may run longer than your php.ini's max_execution_time and also check set_time_limit()
You can check cron log by using this command tail -fn 100 /var/log/cron
it might occur due to script file permission and ownership of script files. so make sure you give proper permission to the script file.
chmod +x yourscript.sh chown root:root yourscript.sh
it might be related to OS. Maybe your webserver disk is full or an OS that can't spawn new threads.
Maybe your script has begun to overlap themselves and */15 * * * * is not enough. you can try to increase time to */30 * * * *

I have the following Kernel.php:
<?php
namespace App\Console;
use Illuminate\Console\Scheduling\Schedule;
use Illuminate\Foundation\Console\Kernel as ConsoleKernel;
class Kernel extends ConsoleKernel
{
/**
* Define the application's command schedule.
*
* #param \Illuminate\Console\Scheduling\Schedule $schedule
* #return void
*/
protected function schedule(Schedule $schedule)
{
\Log::info("hit");
$schedule->command('queue:restart')->everyFiveMinutes();
$schedule->command('queue:work')->name('queue_work_name')->withoutOverlapping()->runInBackground();
}
}
and a cron job set to run every minute... it prints correctly the "hit" in the logs, but no sign of the queue to be running... however, if i go to the terminal and run php artisan queue:work --once, it just works fine
What am i missing
Have you added this code to crontab?
* * * * * cd /path-to-your-project && php artisan schedule:run >> /dev/null 2>&1
Above code checks for the scheduled commands and executes them.
To open crontab in linux use crontab -e.
I have a hard time running cron job on Digitalocean. I noticed there are two different cron files, I get to one by getting to /etc/crontab and other one by entering the command crontab -e.
To make it more confusing, both of those have somewhat different "layout". First one:
* * * * * root php /var/www/Laravel artisan schedule:run >> /home/laravel.log
and second one:
* * * * * php /var/www/Laravel artisan schedule:run >> laravel.log
Here is Laravel scheduler part:
protected $commands = [
'App\Console\Commands\SyncAPIs',
];
/**
* Define the application's command schedule.
*
* #param \Illuminate\Console\Scheduling\Schedule $schedule
* #return void
*/
protected function schedule(Schedule $schedule)
{
$schedule->command('media:sync')->everyThirtyMinutes();
// sync for yesterday to eliminate discrepancies
$schedule->command('media:sync ' . Carbon::yesterday())->dailyAt(6);
}
The thing is that the laravel.log does get created, but I see nothing in it, and I don't know if my commands actually get ran. Does that mean that cron IS actually running? How can I debug the issue as I don't see in the database that cron filled it. When I go to the folder /var/www/Laravel and execute the commands which are supposed to be called in scheduler, dataabse fills correctly.
cd ~
crontab -u root -e
* * * * * php /var/www/laravelprojectname/artisan schedule:run 1>> /dev/null 2>&1
service cron restart
grep -i cron /var/log/syslog|tail -3
I think this should help
May be you need to change this line :
* * * * * php /var/www/Laravel artisan schedule:run >> laravel.log
to :
* * * * * /usr/bin/php /var/www/Laravel artisan schedule:run >> laravel.log
I found an answer being actually:
* * * * * php /var/www/Laravel/artisan schedule:run >> laravel.log
php works globally, but artisan needs to be shown the path which is in my Laravel main folder
I have setup a command that generates a PDF with some stats and it sends the pdf as an attachment in an email. The command works great when I run t manually in my console.
php artisan send:report
Now I am trying to setup that this command is executed every last day of the month. To test I have setup the scheduler to everyMinute but when I run php artisan schedule:run the email is sent only 1 time when I run the command and not every minute.
Am I doing something wrong here?
My Kernel.php file in Lumen
<?php
namespace App\Console;
use App\Console\Commands\SendReport;
use Illuminate\Console\Scheduling\Schedule;
use Laravel\Lumen\Console\Kernel as ConsoleKernel;
class Kernel extends ConsoleKernel
{
/**
* The Artisan commands provided by your application.
*
* #var array
*/
protected $commands = [
SendReport::class,
];
/**
* Define the application's command schedule.
*
* #param \Illuminate\Console\Scheduling\Schedule $schedule
* #return void
*/
protected function schedule(Schedule $schedule)
{
$schedule->command('report:send')->everyMinute();
}
}
Am I missing something ?
Any help is greatly appreciated !
Many thanks in advance !
Please ensure this is on your server Cron entries as described in the docs
* * * * * php /path-to-your-project/artisan schedule:run >> /dev/null 2>&1
I think you need to set the entry in the crontab. See here: https://laravel.com/docs/5.4/scheduling and scroll down to Starting The Scheduler.
Need to add a cronjob to run the schedule:run command:
Found answer in this issue.
I've create a laravel task and added to my crontab file
app/Console/Kernel.php
<?php
namespace App\Console;
use Carbon;
use Illuminate\Console\Scheduling\Schedule;
use Illuminate\Foundation\Console\Kernel as ConsoleKernel;
class Kernel extends ConsoleKernel
{
/**
* The Artisan commands provided by your application.
*
* #var array
*/
protected $commands = [
\App\Console\Commands\Inspire::class,
];
/**
* Define the application's command schedule.
*
* #param \Illuminate\Console\Scheduling\Schedule $schedule
* #return void
*/
protected function schedule(Schedule $schedule)
{
$now = Carbon\Carbon::now('America/New_York');
$dt = Carbon\Carbon::parse($now);
$time_start = $dt->toTimeString();
$dt = str_replace('-','_',$dt);
$dt = str_replace(' ','_',$dt);
$dt = str_replace('/',':',$dt);
$schedule->exec('curl '.env('APP_URL').'fbwifi/acl_update')->everyMinute()
->sendOutputTo(public_path().'/tasks/log_'.$dt.'.txt');
}
}
crontab file
* * * * * /usr/local/bin/php artisan schedule:run
* * * * * php artisan schedule:run
Result
For some reasons my crontab doesn't trigger.
After 5 minutes, I don't see anything generated in my public/tasks/ folder.
I even tried to put the full path to my php.
Am I missing anything? How would one go about debugging this?
In your crontab you need to set the path to point to the artisan file in your project's root directory.
* * * * * php /path/to/project/artisan schedule:run
If you're having trouble finding the absolute path to your project route then open terminal, cd into your project's route directory and then use the pwd command, which will give you the absolute directory.
So for example:
$ cd MyUser/dev/project
$ pwd
Will output something like
/Users/MyUser/dev/project
Then your cronjob would look like
* * * * * php /Users/MyUser/dev/project/artisan schedule:run
Also try restarting your cron daemon. I've found that helps sometimes when things don't run for me.
I have statusUpdate.php file in the
xampp\htdocs\project\app\Console\Commands folder.
statusUpdate.php :
<?php
namespace App\Console\Commands;
use Illuminate\Console\Command;
use DB;
class statusUpdate extends Command
{
/**
* The name and signature of the console command.
*
* #var string
*/
protected $signature = 'status:update';
/**
* The console command description.
*
* #var string
*/
protected $description = 'Update Job status daily';
/**
* Create a new command instance.
*
* #return void
*/
public function __construct()
{
parent::__construct();
}
/**
* Execute the console command.
*
* #return mixed
*/
public function handle()
{
$affected = DB::table('jobs')->update(array('status' => 1));
}
}
It is created by the following Laravel official documentation.
Then I was added \App\Console\Commands\statusUpdate::class, class in Kernel.php on xampp\htdocs\project\app\Console folder.
Here is the karnel.php file code:
<?php
namespace App\Console;
use Illuminate\Console\Scheduling\Schedule;
use Illuminate\Foundation\Console\Kernel as ConsoleKernel;
class Kernel extends ConsoleKernel
{
/**
* The Artisan commands provided by your application.
*
* #var array
*/
protected $commands = [
\App\Console\Commands\statusUpdate::class,
];
/**
* Define the application's command schedule.
*
* #param \Illuminate\Console\Scheduling\Schedule $schedule
* #return void
*/
protected function schedule(Schedule $schedule)
{
$schedule->command('status:update')
->everyFiveMinutes();
}
}
Then I was run
php artisan schedule:run command using CMD on windows 7.
Now it is working fine(in local server). My jobs table status field is updated properly by 1.
But when I was deployed this project on the shared hosting and added a CRON command for my server in cPanel:
Cron job command is like this : php /path/to/artisan schedule:run 1>> /dev/null 2>&1
Now in this case command not working & this is the problem. how can I solve it?
Well. I am giving you the answer as per what you have said.
Cron job command is like this : php /path/to/artisan schedule:run 1>> /dev/null 2>&1
The path should be locating the artisan file in the server. Like this:
Let's say your artisan file location is /var/www/artisan, then the simple answer could be do like this:
php /var/www/artisan schedule:run 1>> /dev/null 2>&1
Just check if that works. Thank You!
UPDATE:
This is how it should look like.
This worked fine for me
/usr/local/bin/php /path/to/artisan schedule:run >> /dev/null 2>&1
You should add the command from the cPanel server as
/usr/local/bin/php /home/xyz/public_html/artisan schedule:run 1>> /home/xyz/public_html/log_laravel 2>&1
This will keep all the logs in /home/xyz/public_html/log_laravel
Running scheduled command: '/opt/cpanel/ea-php71/root/usr/bin/php' 'artisan' SyncAPIOrders:orders > '/dev/null' 2>&1
In my case cron Job was not working, if you are about to schedule the command as once a day (i.e., 00:00) iff, same time is not reflected in a $schedule->command(); object
If the commands were incorrect, I used to get this warning in my Email as
PHP Warning: Module 'magickwand' already loaded in Unknown on line 0
Status: 404 Not Found
X-Powered-By: PHP/5.6.37
Content-type: text/html; charset=UTF-8
No input file specified.
In Kernel.php you should specify
/**
* Define the application's command schedule.
*
* #param \Illuminate\Console\Scheduling\Schedule $schedule
* #return void
*/
protected function schedule(Schedule $schedule)
{
$schedule->command('SyncAPIOrders:orders')
->timezone('Asia/Kolkata')
->dailyAt('00:00');
}
