Scheduler Task with Laravel5 in Windows - php

I have a doubt with the SchedulerTasks. I created the command in Laravel 5.0 called log::company, this command I need to be executed every second, even if website is not opened.
I have an auction, when the time of auction finish I need to change the state of the auction to 'finished', with this command I change this state, for this reason I need to use this command every second.
But I use Windows and the documentation of Laravel5.0 shows how to use with Ubuntu. I don't know which is the best option to execute this command every second.

You need to use CronJob to triger php artisan schedule:run every second even if site is not opened. But since you are on Windows you have few alternatives to CronJob. Look at What is the Windows version of cron? for more information about scheaduling tasks in Windows.

How to add Cron entries to WAMP localhost in Laravel 5.6

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.

Manually start and stop CRON on OS X

I would like to be able to test a server side process in my local dev env using a CRON task that runs every minute. However I do not want this to run every minute of every day, just when I need to test the process.
Is there some Terminal command I can use to add a CRON task and another to do the reverse (remove it).
Ideally I'd then like to execute this command via a tool like Shuttle so that I can start/stop the CRON from the taskbar as and when required.
In the end I abandoned this idea and used an app called CronniX to manually start and stop a local CRON process:

How do i keep a php script active even if nobody opened the website?

I have a project, i need to do this
a desktop application sends a txt file with a number to the web server every 5 seconds
the web server opens that file and saves the number in a database
the thing is that i need it to work 24/7 , even if the user hasn't logged in.
the desktop application already works, what can I do?
You should use a cron to do this. Here's an article explaining how to set them up in linux:

In case you're running this on windows:
What is the Windows version of cron?
Mac is similar to linux:

use Unix Chron to plan a php job that fits your needs
What you're trying to do is not actually a web server function, per se, (there isn't a request to serve) you just want to run a PHP script on a pre-determined schedule. To do that, you should run a scheduled job (cron on non-windows, Scheduled Task on Windows).
We use Windows, so here's how you set up a scheduled task for a php script to run when you need it to:
On the web server, from Control Panel, create a new Schedule Task
Set the Run value to wherever PHP is installed and the script you want to run:
"C:\Program Files\Php5\php.exe" C:\webserver\scripts\myphpfile.php
Set the Start in to wherever your php file is:
C:\webserver\scripts\
Set up the rest of the Schedule Task options to your needs.

Getting a php script to run at a certain time each day independently each day?

I am in need of something like this I need a script to run independently each day at a certain time without fail, the script will be for PDO mysql and some other things,
Can anyone point me in the right direction??
Thanks
If PHP is configured to run from the commandline you can simply setup either a cronjob (crontab -e) (Linux) or a scheduled task (Windows) where you run the php file(s) you want to run.
php -f /path/to/script.php
If you're on Linux, use a CRON Job. For Windows, use a Scheduled Task.
There are also services that do this online. A quick Google search returns this site.

How to schedule in php

I have some files on my server, how to open them programatically once a day?
Let them be
http://site.com/scripts/video.php
http://site.com/scripts/music.php
Without my hands, just like sheduling (automatically).
Even if I sleep and server is working, they should open on given time.
And additionally, how to open them once a 10 seconds (for tests)?
Thanks.
The Solution is very clear when you are using a Linux server;CRON JOBS.
One can easily run a cron job by configuring it through the terminal.I saw everyone has provided the Solution,but my answer will be for the people who are novice to Linux servers and don't know much about Cron Jobs.Go to Terminal and type the below commands..
root>which php
The above line will give you the path to where PHP is in your linux systems
Now,
root>crontab e
The above line will open the Cron file in edit mode.
Enter the number of times you want to run a particular php file and what time of the day,month,week,etc.
I am providing the syntex for running a particular file every 15 mins.
So here you go,
(write this in the cron file in edit mode)
*/15 * * * * path/to/your/php path/to/the/file/you/want/to/run
Now,path/to/your/php has to be replaced by the path what you got when you typed
root>which php
And you are done just save the file and close it.You will see a messege on you terminal that a new CronJob is installed.
That's it.
If you're on a Linux/Unix host using a cron job is generally the best approach, as you can simply call the command line version of PHP as a part of the cron job. (You may need to tweak your script if it relies on $_SERVER variables, that said.)
Administration middleware (such as Plesk) often offer the ability to add cron tasks as well, although you many need to check the user/group rights that such tasks are executed with.
Finally, if you use a cron task you can simply enter the required command via the command line during the testing phase. (i.e.: Rather than force a 10 second update (which would be tricky unless you had cron execute a shell script) you could execute the script as required.)
It's not possible with pure PHP. You'll need a cron job for this - ask your provider or administrator whether they are available.
Cron has a resolution of 1 minute, though: Calling a script once every 10 seconds would have to be done e.g. using a PHP script that gets called every minute, and makes six requests every ten seconds.
Running them once a day requires a seperate program running them.
For linux servers the usual choice is a Cron Job, for Windows the Task Sheduler works fine, too.
