I am trying to develop an app in Laravel 4.2 framework. For this purpose, I tried to set up task scheduler.
I have created commands for scheduling and it works well.
In Laravel documentation, they mentioned that we need to add Cron entry to server:
* * * * * php /path/to/artisan schedule:run >> /dev/null 2>&1.
I don't know where to add this command. Can anyone help? I am using xampp in windows os
In Windows this is called Task Scheduler.
Just make sure you use full paths to php.exe and artisan as well.

I have this in my Kernal.php
$schedule->call(function () {
DB::table('news')->delete();
})->everyMinute();
when i do
php artisan schedule:run
it works fine.
But when i use cpanel and write in cron job
php /home/allnewsnepal/public_html/artisan schedule:run >> /dev/null 2>&1
the code doesnt run automatically.I dont have access to shell of cpanel.
For cron's in cPanel, you can look in this post:
Run a PHP file in a cron job using CPanel
The things that you should pay attention to are:
Global path of your PHP (e.g. /usr/bin/php)
Global path of your Laravel (e.g. /var/www/html/LaravelProjectName)
In order to start a cron job on Linux based systems, you must specify the user for that cron, let's say the user is root, so the cron job would look like this:
root php /home/allnewsnepal/public_html/artisan schedule:run >> /dev/null 2>&1
Of course with * prefixes depending on your cron schedule
Thanx for the help .
I got my problem solved by doing
php-cli -q /home/allnewsnepal/public_html/artisan schedule:run
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.
I'm running a Digital Ocean's Ubuntu 16.10 x64 and have deployed the php Framework Laravel 5.3.28 on the server.
For the most part everything is working as normal however I'm trying to get the crontab to call artisan commands like php artisan schedule:run so that laravel's task scheduler can be put to use.
I do not wish to download any extra packages to make this work as I feel there shouldn't really be a need to since the cron can call, what looks like, any command if properly coded.
What I'm trying to do:
From within the crontab -e I'm trying to properly write the Ubuntu correct way to call php artisan schedule:run
What I've done:
I've currently tried multiple different ways of writing this command and nothing is working as noted below:
#Attempt for cron
SHELL=/bin/bash
#PATH=????? <---Confused if this is even needed
* * * * * php /path/to/artisan scheduled:run 1>> file.log 2>&1
* * * * * /path/to/php artisan scheduled:run 1>> file.log 2>&1
* * * * * /path/to/php artisan scheduled:run >> file.log
* * * * * /path/to/php artisan scheduled:run 1>> file.log
* * * * * /path/to/php artisan schedule:run
* * * * * /path/to/php /path/to/artisan scheduled:run 1>> file.log
I've gone to multiple resources to try and find the answer but nothing seems to be the answer to my specific problem.

Conclusion:
At this point I'm stuck beyond stuck. Can someone please help me? All I'm trying to do is call the php artisan command using Ubuntu's cron and I don't know the exact way to do it. ANY and all assistance is greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Happy Holidays!!
Here we go. That's how mine looks like. :)

Several of your crontab entries should work. If they appear to not be working the next question is whether you have installed the php-cli package? Without it you will not be able to run php scripts from the command line, only via a web server. If you haven't already I would recommend installing php7.0-cli via:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install php7.0-cli
The case could be made that when you downloaded php7 via sudo apt-get install php7.0-fpm it downloaded a version that would work with Laravel 5.3 but not necessarily for cron jobs calling php commands with Ubuntu. This is a hypothetical though and I feel might still be worth investigating.
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.
Does self-hosted (non-Forge) Laravel have a cron system? Or has this been supplanted by worker queues?
That is, in many PHP frameworks, there's a single cron file to run -- often named cron.php. You're usually instructed to configure this script to run every 15 minutes (or some similar time) via a unix cron job.
1,15,30,45 * * * * /path/to/php /path/to/cron.php
Does Laravel have a similar system? Googling about I've seen some mentions that Forge has a solution for this, and that older version of Laravel might have had a system, but I haven't been able to find a clear answer W/R/T Laravel 4.
You can schedule artisan commands and make your own commands like so:
php artisan command:make cronCommand
Which will result in a cronCommand.php file in your app/commands directory
Then you make artisan aware of the command
Add Artisan::add(new cronCommand); to app/start/artisan.php
composer dump-autoload
Now you can see your new command via php artisan list
and schedule it via 1,15,30,45 * * * * artisan cronCommand
