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.

I have made a command and scheduled it for every 30 minutes. When I run php artisan schedule:run it works perfectly fine and returns with the expected results, but when I configured it on my live server my cron job do run but instead of retuning the success message it returns with list of all available command in my laravel project. Here is what I am doing.
Command Kernel:
$schedule->command('update:callLogs')
->everyMinute();
Cron Entry:
/usr/bin/php /home/ddsas9rm2f1g/public_html/clowdlink.com/crm/artisan schedule:run
And this is the response I am getting
Laravel Framework 5.8.38
Usage:
command [options] [arguments]
Options:
-h, --help Display this help message
-q, --quiet Do not output any message
-V, --version Display this application version
--ansi Force ANSI output

-n, --no-interaction Do not ask any interactive question
--env[=ENV] The environment the command should run under
-v|vv|vvv, --verbose Increase the verbosity of messages: 1 for normal output, 2 for more verbose output and 3 for debug
Available commands:
(List of all availabe commands)
Any help will be much appreciated.
EDIT
Now my command looks like this
* * * * * cd /home/ddsas9rm2f1g/public_html/clowdlink.com/crm && php artisan update:callLogs
but getting the same response whereas when I copy the same command and using putty ran the same command and it works perfectly fine. Now it's been a week now and I'm still stuck at this cron thing.
I fixed this by specifying the path to PHP instead of using just php.
From this: cd /home/foobar && php artisan schedule:run
To this: cd /home/foobar && /usr/local/bin/php artisan schedule:run
This stopped me from getting a list of available artisan commands and gave me the right output.
I can see it looks like you've already tried that, but I think others will run into this too. I'd imagine your issue is something to do with the PHP version you're using not being able to properly run PHP scripts. Maybe an opcache thing with CLI?
I faced big challenge as well when I was deploying one my applications, and finally managed to tackle it with:
cd /path-to-project && /opt/cpanel/ea-php71/root/opt/cpanel/ea-php74/root/usr/bin/php-cgi artisan schedule:run
I use Laravel 5.7 for my application
You could try the following code:
* * * * * php /home/ddsas9rm2f1g/public_html/clowdlink.com/crm/artisan schedule:run 1>> /dev/null 2>&1
>> /dev/null 2>&1: we will discard all output of a command.
Can you try the below in cron and share the output of crontab.out
* * * * * cd /home/ddsas9rm2f1g/public_html/clowdlink.com/crm/ && php artisan schedule:run >> crontab.out 2>&1
*/30 * * * * php /home/ddsas9rm2f1g/public_html/clowdlink.com/crm/artisan schedule:run 1>> /dev/null 2>&1
OR
*/30 * * * * /usr/bin/php /home/ddsas9rm2f1g/public_html/clowdlink.com/crm/artisan schedule:run 1>> /dev/null 2>&1
OR
*/30 * * * * cd /home/ddsas9rm2f1g/public_html/clowdlink.com/crm && php artisan schedule:run >> /dev/null 2>&1

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'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: /
I've set up crontab on my AWS-EC2 instance to hit the Laravel scheduling endpoint every minute via the root account using sudo crontab-e:
* * * * * php ~/htdocs/artisan schedule:run >> /dev/null 2>&1
However, despite to the cron logs showing it is indeed running every minute:
Jan 26 12:02:01 ip-172-31-28-116 CRON[5057]: (root) CMD (php ~/htdocs/artisan schedule:run >> /dev/null 2>&1)
the job itself isn't executing.
Running the command php ~/htdocs/artisan schedule:run >> /dev/null 2>&1 straight up triggers the job and works.
I'm really struggling with what is going wrong here, am I missing something?
So, I failed to heed the cron output "No MTA installed, discarding output" - Upon installing an MTA (postfix, via sudo apt-get install postfix), it turned out that for the cronjob, php wasn't findable.
Changing the command to use the output of which php to:
/opt/bitnami/php/bin/php /home/bitnami/htdocs/artisan schedule:run
is now working.
Thanks for your help!
Use absolute paths when adding cron entries. ~/htdocs/artisan that should be set using the full path to your application root directory.
It works when you manually run the command because your environment is set accordingly. Not the case when adding cron entries using sudo.
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.
