I'm trying to make Laravel automatically handle the emailing queue but can't make the task scheduler working. The problem is like:
I already got jobs successfully in the database table, and in Kernel.php:
$schedule->command('queue:work')->everyMinute();
on the remote server I've run this command under the project folder:
* * * * * php artisan schedule:run >> /dev/null 2>&1
But the scheduler still refuse to work, as job still remains in the table. If I manually run
artisan queue:work
the email is sent then.
What am I getting wrong here? Many thanks!
Firstly I would suggest you to not use laravel's command scheduler.
Pros and cons of using laravel's task scheduler:
pros
Your cron task gets embedded to your code. So if you change your server you don't need to remember which all cron tasks you had.
cons
Let's say you have several other cron tasks. Task T1 runs every minute but task T2 runs every day while task T3 runs every Tuesday. Now to just check this you will be running a daemon which will check if every minute of you have any task in queue schedule. Also your queue should respect each jobs and their respective timings.
Instead what you can do is create separate commands for every task. And run cron jobs for them.
But even if you wanted to do what you were doing already or want to know why your cron task was not running, then here is what you were forgetting "running the artisan command in your project directory".
* * * * * cd path_to_your_laravel_project & php artisan schedule:run

I have the Laravel schedule command triggered in the crontab as:
* * * * * php /home/forge/site/artisan schedule:run
This is set via Forge.
Then, in app/Console/Kernel.php I'm triggering my job to run hourly:
$schedule->job(new GetRecentArtists())->hourly();
But it's still running every minute.
My understanding was that the artisan command needs running every minute so that job schedules can then be checked to see if the job needs triggering as per its' specific schedule.
Update
I've tried restarting the queue as suggested in the comment by Sahidul, and have confirmed that none of the built-in schedules (hourly, daily, etc) prevent it from running every minute.
When I remove the schedule from the crontab and run it via php artisan schedule:run, I get 'No scheduled commands are ready to run' but the task runs anyway.
This was a red herring. I had my log message showing the job as running in the __construct method of the job, rather than in the handle method.
The job is constructed when the scheduler runs, then added to the queue to be executed as per the schedule - so the construct method was being called immediately, but the job wasn't actually being handled until the scheduled time.
I'm running a cron job on a direct admin server that runs every minute and every minute the connections/processes almost triples to about 90 from about 30. They die right away and they drop back down to about 30.

I'm using the scheduler cron job
* * * * * cd /path-to-your-project && php artisan schedule:run >> /dev/null 2>&1
What would be creating all these connections?
I also have a problem when restarting the queue with php artisan queue:restart.
A sleeping process starts that lasts forever, crashing the server eventually so I have to manually kill it.
edit here's a screenshot
I think your job is having error. Try php artisan [your job command]. Check if it is running fine. Besides, don't you have a cron table to record your job status?
I am going to create Task Shedule in laravel 5.6 in my app. I am working with windows 7 os and my localhost is WAMP. in laravel documentation there is add Cron entries to your server as
* * * * * cd /path-to-your-project && php artisan schedule:run >> /dev/null 2>&1
but I have not any idea about how to add Cron entries with My wamp localhost. my laravel file is in the desktop name as schoolproject then how can add Cron entries with my wamp?
For people who run a local WAMP server and their computer isn't always awake
I spent the past couple months figuring out what would work best.
First, set up your Kernel class and console commands as instructed in the Laravel docs.
In Windows, open Task Scheduler, and create a new task:
In the Triggers section, you can set it like this:
The action should be to run the PHP executable within your WAMP folder (using artisan schedule:run) as the argument:
But then here is an important difference from other tutorials I've seen:
For any tasks that are critical, you'll want to treat them separately.
For example, let's assume you have a task that backs up your database, and you'd like to run this every single day at noon, so your Kernel class has this command in its schedule.
But then you realize a flaw in this approach: if you were out at lunch a few days in a row and left your computer asleep, that noon task would have been missed, and now your backups would be quite stale.
So, remove that daily database backups command from the schedule in Kernel, and instead, then create a second task within Windows Task Scheduler, and set the trigger like:
Then in its Settings tab, you can choose "Run task as soon as possible after a scheduled start is missed":
Therefore, even if your computer is off or asleep at this task's scheduled time, Windows will know to run the task immediately upon waking.
I'm writing a CMS with the Laravel as a backend and Vue.js as a frontend. So far, I had no problems with the application, however, when I tried to create Scheduler to manage tasks from the frontend, I'm not able to run these tasks with provided Laravel cron task:
* * * * * php /var/www/html/artisan schedule:run >> /dev/null 2>&1
Well, actually I can, if I redirect the output of the CRON to the file and not /dev/null, Laravel is telling me that the job is executed successfully, however, nothing is happening.
To test out that created Scheduler class is able to call the jobs at an assigned times, I've written small node.js notification application, which simply sends the system notification.
In case if I'm calling the php artisan schedule:run myself, I have no problem with receiving this notification, and yet again, I have a new entry in the log file telling me that job executed successfully.
But when CRON executes the same artisan command, the only thing I get is entry in the log file but no notification.
I'm running Apache server under the same user which has this cron entry and the node.js script is placed under in the home path of this same user. So from here I've no idea why this might happen.
P.S. This is the interface which basically shows how the crontab is edited and what I'm adding to it to make this thing work (but for some reason it is just spitting messages to log without actually doing anything):
And this is how the task looks like:
Laravel provides an easy way for task scheduling. Laravel’s ‘Command Scheduler’ allows you to easily define the schedule of the commands within Laravel itself. When using the scheduler, only one Cron entry is needed on the server.
Currently i am using PHP 5.6.32 and Laravel Framework Lumen (5.4.6) (Laravel Components 5.4.*).
I am able to schedule my task as per the specific time like below
$schedule->call('App\Http\Controllers\SubjectController#frickcall', ["request" => $request])
->cron("14:23");
But after scheduling above call how could i remove it from scheduler list?
Just remove that line of code from your schedule.
Schedules are not jobs placed in a work queue in Laravel and Lumen, you are supposed to setup a cron job to run the scheduler every minute with a crontab entry like this:
* * * * * php /path-to-your-project/artisan schedule:run >> /dev/null 2>&1
Then the schedule will be evaluated every minute to determine if anything needs to be run.
If you were meant to be using work queues look at this.
