I have custom Artisan commands that run locally as well as on my production server when I am SSH'd in, but are unavailable to any cron jobs. I've even tried running it as the user the cron job runs as and it works fine from my console.
When I run php artisan in the above settings, my custom commands are listed and available. However, they are not listed when I run php artisan as a cron job.
Furthermore, trying to run the custom command php artisan subjects:calculate as a cron job results in the following error:
[InvalidArgumentException]
There are no commands defined in the "subjects" namespace.
I was fighting with the same error and I found the solution.
First failed attempts
*/5 * * * * /usr/bin/php /home/mysite/public_html/artisan my:command
*/5 * * * * php /home/mysite/public_html/artisan my:command
Solution
*/5 * * * * /usr/local/bin/php /home/mysite/public_html/artisan my:command
Be sure to add the command to app/start/artisan.php file:
Artisan::add(new SubjectsCommand);
or if you are using the IOC container:
Artisan:resolve('SubjectsCommand');
Then run the CronJob from the folder of the app:
00 09-18 * * 1-5 php /path/to/yourapp/artisan subjects:calculate
or
00 09-18 * * 1-5 /usr/bin/php /path/to/yourapp/artisan subjects:calculate
At least for me that worked:
class Kernel extends ConsoleKernel
{
protected $commands = [
// Commands\YourCommand::class,
];
}
Just added my command to the list of command kernel.
You probable need to make sure artisan is running from the correct directory
cd /path/to/yourproject && php artisan subjects:calculate

I created a command in laravel "update:date" and "php artisan list" successfully lists it. I am able to execute it using "php artisan update:date"
Kernel.php:
protected $commands = [
'Snuba\Console\Commands\Inspire',
'Snuba\Console\Commands\UpdateDate'
];
protected function schedule(Schedule $schedule)
{
$schedule->command('inspire')
->hourly();
$schedule->command('update:date')
->everyMinute();
}
I configured it to run every minute as given above. Do I need to configure anything else ? I think laravel should automatically register it as cron task on ubuntu server.

No, you have to start it like:
* * * * * php /path-to-your-project/artisan schedule:run >> /dev/null 2>&1
Starting The Scheduler
When using the scheduler, you only need to add the following Cron entry to your server. If you do not know how to add Cron entries to your server, consider using a service such as Laravel Forge which can manage the Cron entries for you

Another Answer
I just noticed:
Call to undefined method Illuminate\Console\Scheduling\Event::everyMinute()
I followed the documentation and thought this is a valid method call. I found that everyMinute() is no more valid in laravel 5+. So, I used cron expression instead.
Laravel's command scheduler allows you to fluently and expressively define your command schedule within Laravel itself. For more go through following link laravel task scheduling
If you have access to SSH
run command crontab -e
insert this line:
php /path-to-your-project/artisan schedule:run >> /dev/null 2>&1
which will run all your specified crons as there specified times.
If you have cpanel then under crontab add the above line on command
If ->everyMinute does not exist, please use ->cron('*/1 * * * * *') to set every minute. Or override class laravel.com/api/5.x/Illuminate/Console/Scheduling/Event.html
If cron job not working, run command crontab -e and add this line without single quote
'* * * * * php /path-to-your-project/artisan schedule:run >> /dev/null 2>&1'
After do this I think it works perfectly.
I am trying to run a Symfony2 command with a cron job but I get an error that the environment is not found. Here is my cron job:
* * * * * /usr/local/bin/php /usr/lib/myApp/app/console >> /usr/lib/myApp/forumLog.txt 2>&1
For now I am just trying to make app/console work and the expected output is a list with all commands. The error that I get is:
[Symfony\Component\Debug\Exception\ContextErrorException]
User Error: The environment was not found
Do you have any idea what is wrong and what is the correct way to run symfony2 commands through cronjob?
In my own Symfony-console running cronjobs, I usually have cron run a shell script, that first changes into the apprppriate directory, and then runs the console command.
Here's an example that has been running for a year or two:
File: /etc/cron.d/systemChecks (run a shell script as user: www-user)
10 7,19 * * * www-data /var/www/dir.../bin/liipMonitor.sh
File: /var/www/dir.../bin/liipMonitor.sh
#!/bin/sh
# Running at 7:10 and 19:10
cd /var/www/dir.../
bin/console --env=prod monitor:health --group=cli -q
I put the cron setup into their own files in /etc/cron.d but much the same would apply in any other crontab file. The shell script changes directory to the base directory of the project, and then runs bin/console.
Set the --env parameter in the cronjob command, like that:
* * * * * /usr/local/bin/php /usr/lib/myApp/app/console --env=prod >> /usr/lib/myApp/forumLog.txt 2>&1
I have a Laravel 5.1 site, and an artisan command set up that I can run manually without problems, but I cannot seem to get it to fire at a scheduled time.
I have a crontab set up on a digital ocean server, the contents of the file are
HELL=/bin/bash
MAILTO=""
* * * * * php /var/www/{domain}/artisan schedule:run 1>> /dev/null 2>&1
where {domain} is the actual domain.
In my kernel.php file I have the following
protected function schedule(Schedule $schedule)
{
$schedule->command('migrate:existing-users')->dailyAt('10:25');
}
There's nothing in the laravel log file that offers any clues, it just seems like nothing it happening.
How can I check if the cron is set up correctly?
EDIT:
It seems the cron tab was set up under the root user, so I have also set up another one under www-data, and put this simple line in both
* * * * * echo 'run this command every minute'
with my email address in the MAILTO= line, but nothing gets emailed to me on either crontab
My laravel version is 5.0.28, I build on cloud9, and I added this command to my cron:
#!/bin/bash
PATH=/usr/bin
* * * * * php /home/ubuntu/workspace/app/artisan scheduled:run 1>> /dev/null 2>&1
I added this code on my Kernel.php. I referenced this site: https://laravel-news.com/2014/11/laravel-5-scheduler/
<?php namespace App\Console;
use Illuminate\Console\Scheduling\Schedule;
use Illuminate\Foundation\Console\Kernel as ConsoleKernel;
use App\Http\Controllers\ApiController;
class Kernel extends ConsoleKernel {
protected $commands = [
'App\Console\Commands\Inspire',
];
protected function schedule(Schedule $schedule)
{
$schedule->call('ApiController#test_job')->hourly();
}
}
I waited and it still didn't work, so I tried to use the command php artisan schedule:run, and I got: No scheduled commands are ready to run.
I searched and found this answer: Laravel 5 "Class does not exist" when using the scheduler
So I modified my code. Also, this code had no specified time, so I modified my cron to specify a time, but it still doesn't work. I have no more ideas. please help. Thanks.
code
$schedule->call(join('#', [ApiController::class, 'test_job']));
cron
0 0,3,6,9,12,15,18,21 * * * php /home/ubuntu/workspace/app/artisan schedule:run 1>> /dev/null 2>&1
30 1,4,7,10,13,16,19,22 * * * php /home/ubuntu/workspace/app/artisan schedule:run 1>> /dev/null 2>&1
first to Test if cron is running in your server or localhost type:
> sudo service cron status
if not installed:
> sudo apt-get install cron
to enable laravel's scheduler:
> crontab -e
and you can select an editor if not vim opens directly. Be sure to enter there this line at the bottom:
* * * * * php /path_from_root_to_laravel_proj_folder/artisan schedule:run 1>> /dev/null 2>&1
to Test if you have setup inside laravel the scheduler right, run this from your projects folder:
>php artisan schedule:run
this should execute the tasks and tell you what is doing.
Laravel scheduler works with commands, not with controller methods:
create command:
php artisan make:command PurchasePodcast
edit command:
namespace App\Console\Commands;
use Illuminate\Console\Command;
class PurchasePodcast extends Command
{
protected $name = 'purchase:podcast';
public function fire()
{
// do stuff here
}
}
add command to Console\Kernel.php:
protected $commands = [
'App\Console\Commands\PurchasePodcast',
];
use command in scheduler:
$schedule->command('purchase:podcast')->hourly();
In my case, the scheduler actually run but encountered an error because of lower php version, beside artisan path (which is your project folder), I had to set the php path as below:
* * * * * /path_to_php_folder/bin/php /path_from_root_to_laravel_proj_folder/artisan schedule:run 1>> /dev/null 2>&1
There are several aspects to find the cause:
First, check whether the 'timezone' in config/app.php is set properly. Laravel will reset the timezone even though you already configured it in php.ini.
Secondly, check that crontab is working as expected. When you get the message "No schedule to be ready", it means your crontab is running and can detect the php and artisan command.
In order to complete #limonte's answer the create Console Command is the following:
php artisan make:console CampaignsCollect --command=campaigns:collect

I have got a page which queues up emails in beanstalked.
The script works as intended, the emails get fired when i have a queue listener, ie.
php artisan queue:listen
But when i remove the listener and add it to the crob job
* * * * * /usr/bin/php /var/www/huge/artisan queue:listen
The emails don't get fired.
Any ideas?
Had this exact same issue the other day, you probably just need to cd in to the directory where Artisan is located first. Try the following:
* * * * * cd /var/www/huge/ && /usr/bin/php artisan queue:listen
Also, are you sure the currently in use PHP CLI is located at /usr/bin and not /usr/local/bin?
If the above doesn't work try:
* * * * * cd /var/www/huge/ && /usr/local/bin/php artisan queue:listen
