How to correctly execute a cron job? - php

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: /

Linux scheduled task not working in Laravel

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.

Laravel cronjob schedule command not firing on production

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?

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 :)

Laravel cron executes commands with two php versions

While trying to execute a cron job using Laravel's scheduler, I get in the logs file that the commands are executing with php7 and php7.1 which is weird! can anybody explain what's happening?
Here is a screenshot of the content of the log file:
My crontab file looks like:
* * * * * cd /var/www/ && php /var/www/artisan schedule:run >> /var/www/storage/logs/cron.log 2>&1
You can force specific version to be used by modifying your cron to:
* * * * * cd /var/www/ && /usr/bin/php7 /var/www/artisan schedule:run >> /var/www/storage/logs/cron.log 2>&1
It could be that the cron is getting confused with which version of PHP to use since you have multiple versions installed.

Run artisan command in Kernel.php

i have installed a Laravel package for dumping my database.
The plugin runs find, but i want to run it every day as a cronjob.
Here is the inserted command in Kernel.php:
$schedule->command('db:backup')->dailyAt('01:50');
Unfortunately it hasn't done anything.
Is it possible to run an artisan command direct in the Kernel.php without a Command class ?
Have you made sure to add the task to your system crontab? Typically located at /etc/crontab
* * * * * php /path/to/artisan schedule:run >> /dev/null 2>&1
From https://laravel.com/docs/5.3/scheduling
PHP has no way of executing itself, so you need to set up a system task to call artisan every second, so laravel can evaluate the cron expressions and run them as needed.

Laravel scheduler not working

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.
