I'm trying to work with cron for the first time and trying to create a very simple scheduled task.
I was looking at the documentation and saw that this command needs to be executed
* * * * * php /path/to/artisan schedule:run >> /dev/null 2>&1
I ran it in the terminal like this:
* * * * * php /var/www/html/mail-with-cron schedule:run >> /dev/null 2>&1
with the directory of my project and then I gave php artisan serve
but he did not run the inspire command
This is not a command that runs on the terminal. You need to put this command in the cron of your server. To do this execute in the terminal crontab -e
A file will be opened. Here you put the crontab definition.
* * * * * php /var/www/html/artisan schedule:run >> /dev/null 2>&1
This will execute all the commands defined in method schedule in app/Console/Kernel.php
protected function schedule(Schedule $schedule)
{
$schedule->command('inspire')
->hourly();
}
Missed the artisan at the end of the directory, so it looks like this:
* * * * * php /var/www/html/mail-with-cron/artisan schedule:run >> /dev/null 2>&1
