The below cronjob is not working, although the task itself is working when I manually run it using php artisan q:calc .
I just added the path for php and artisan files as shown below, and pasted the command in the terminal.
Am I missing something ?
* * * * * /usr/bin/php /var/www/html/sharp/artisan schedule:run >> /dev/null 2>&1
That command is a cron entry, not something you run in terminal.
For example, under the specific user you would run (depending on your environment):
$ crontab -e
And paste the above to the crontab file.
You can learn more in the docs:
https://laravel.com/docs/master/scheduling
Or by researching how to add cron entries for your specific operating system.

I'm building a web app where instructors provide courses and customers buy them.
I needed automation for changing courses statuses. Pretty much just checking some conditions and e.g. closing course when the current time is greater than deadline.
I'm using php-symfony, everything is dockerized. So to access my php container, I have to start docker-compose and type docker-compose exec php bash. Well in php I have a command which I can run manually, to check all the courses statuses and possibly do some changes to database if the conditions are met. But to automate this process, I decided to use crontabs. I've tested the command in cmd whether I have all the access to do such thing and it worked, so I just put it into crontab to execute every minute.
* * * * * cd /home/martin/PhpstormProjects/bp_project && sudo docker-compose exec php php bin/console courses-check >/dev/null 2>&1
The first parts gets to the project folder, the second part opens docker container and runs the command that checks courses statuses. In cmd the whole command worked. And even in /var/log/syslog which is supposed to be default crontab logging file, it gave me this output:
May 8 16:42:01 martin-ubuntu CRON[1032921]: (martin) CMD (cd /home/martin/PhpstormProjects/bp_project && sudo docker-compose exec php php bin/console courses-check >/dev/null 2>&1)
I don't see any visible errors but looking in the database, it didn't change any values while it should.
So I was thinking it could be something with docker?
I tried to add second command in crontab which is:
* * * * * cd /home && echo "hi" > a.txt
And it was saving "hi" into given file every minute.
So while the first command doesn't work, this one does. Any ideas where is the hidden problem?
change your crontab into this
* * * * * sudo docker-compose -f /home/martin/PhpstormProjects/bp_project/docker-compose.yml run --rm php sh -c ' bin/console courses-check' >/dev/null 2>&1
I have 7 different schedule commands on kernel.php and one of those is not firing when running the schedule.
kernel.php
....
$schedule->command('my:command')->hourlyAt(15); // this wont run
...
Running php artisan my:command manually on command line works fine.
Also when running the scheduler on our dev server, all commands works fine. The problem is only on production server.
There are no errors on log files.
Any ideas what might be wrong?
I'm using Laravel 5.6
UPDATED:
The problem was wrong artisan path on laravel forge scheduler
Have you add following cron entry as per your project folder path ?
* * * * * cd /path-to-your-project && php artisan schedule:run >> /dev/null 2>&1
please check with following commands
crontab -l
If not ?
open crontab by
crontab -e
add * * * * * cd /path-to-your-project && php artisan schedule:run >> /dev/null 2>&1 entry at the end of file
save file and run following commands
sudo service cron restart
again check with crontab -l
this command will return already set cronjob
i hope it helps :)
I'm trying to run a cron job in my laravel project. I run the following command
* * * * * cd c:/PaginasWeb/intranet php artisan schedule:run >> /dev/null 2>&1
and I miss the error
The system can not find the path specified
But that's the route where my project is located, It's the first time I try to do a cron job, and I do not know if I'm doing wrong. The command is executed from c: /
I have a cronjob with name changeflag. I can use following terminal command to execute this cronjob in local.
php artisan changeflag
In hosting server, I can easily set the execution of console command with cron job.
Is it possible to run above command periodically in local system in Linux automatically as in server ?
or
We have to execute above command through terminal for every test ?
I am using LAMP.
Any help is appreciated.
if you want to add your project's cron jobs in crontab, just add them in crontab file:
change editor to nano (optional)
setenv EDITOR nano
open crontab file
crontab -e
add this line
* * * * * php /path-to-your-project/artisan schedule:run >> /dev/null 2>&1
replace path-to-your-project with the real path and the cron will be executed automatically.
If this doesn't work, replace php with full php path. To find the whole path just type in command line which php.

I have a Laravel 5 application where i want to run cronjobs, i have created a command, that will be running every 5 minutes.
But for some reason it´s never called.
I have added the following crontab.
* * * * * php /var/www/vhosts/website.com/httpdocs/artisan schedule:run
I checked the cron log file, and it looks like it´s running:
Apr 15 10:19:01 lvps92-51-xx-xx CROND[15420]: (root) CMD (php /var/www/vhosts/website.com/httpdocs/artisan schedule:run)
But it is never calling the command.
The funny thing is that if i run the command manually its working...
[root#lvps92-51-xx-xx /]# php /var/www/vhosts/website.com/httpdocs/artisan schedule:run
Running scheduled command: (touch /var/www/vhosts/website.com/httpdocs/storage/framework/schedule-c56ad4a76ba9d8e31def649e20c42f73; /usr/local/php566-cgi/bin/php artisan test:run;
rm /var/www/vhosts/website.com/httpdocs/storage/framework/schedule-c56ad4a76ba9d8e31def649e20c42f73) > /dev/null 2>&1 &
There is no logging entries in the Laravel Log.
(I know that i run the cronjob as root, but that was to avoid permissions errors doing testing)
Laravel version: 5.0.27Server: Centos 6
What am i missing?
I also had this problem few days ago and this is how I solved it.
I am actually using hostmonster for hosting my application.
My cron job runs every minutes.
* * * * * /usr/local/bin/php path/to/artisan schedule:run 1>> /dev/null 2>&1
Hope this helps
Found out what was wrong, i have more than 1 PHP version installed and for some reason cron is using the default php installation even when i have added the new PHP path to .bash_profile.
I fixed it by adding path to the right PHP version:
* * * * * /usr/local/php566-cgi/bin/php /var/www/vhosts/website.com/httpdocs/artisan schedule:run 1>> /dev/null 2>&1
That way its forced to run with that PHP version.
