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.

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 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 :)
Im using php-apache image to create an owncloud installation. I want to use a system cronjob to execute cron.php, therefore I run:
RUN echo "*/3 * * * * php -f /var/www/html/cron.php >> /oc_data/cron.log" > /cron.conf \
&& crontab -u www-data /cron.conf
The entrypoint script starts cron with:
cron -f
It gets executed but the owncloud.log shows following message:
"app":"cron","message":"Failed to connect to the database: An exception occured in driver: could not find driver"
Fun thing is, if I enter the docker container and execute the command I use for the cronjob, it works. And php --ini shows all php conf.d extensions including mysql.so and pdo_mysql.so.
I also tried to add the cron.conf file as user root with the same result.
Any ideas, what is happening here?
Please use the correct folder to keep your cron files: "/etc/cron.d/", use COPY to copy the cron file to inside container and "cron -f" in CMD parameter instead ENTRYPOINT.
OK, ALWAYS use absolute paths!!
path of the php command using the bash in the docker container was different to the one cron used.
use which php to get the correct path and add it to the cronjob.
I want to execute a PHP script on my localhost in Ubuntu. I have tried a lots of methods to apply cron but no luck!
We can set cron on our localhost through following steps:
Open crontab in your terminal:
EDITOR=gedit crontab -e
Add your cron settings at the end of your file (we are setting cron to be execute in every 2 minute in our example):
*/2 * * * * /usr/bin/php -q /path/to/phpfile.php > /dev/null
Save your cron file and run:
sudo service cron restart
I want to execute a php script every 5 minutes. I'm using Ubuntu and I followed these steps:
Executed crontab -e from terminal, entered:
*/5 * * * * /usr/bin/php /var/www/test1.php
in the nano text editor, saved it and started the crontab. It gave no errors and said "installing new crontab", but my script is not being executed. I gave the necessary permissions to the files I use in my script, too.
Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks.
This is what I use for scheduling cron jobs on apache server in cpanel interface :
/usr/bin/php -q /home/domain_name/public_html/cron_test.php
So, you should specify the path to the php executable too, for making the php script work and execute.
