Based on what I read on the documentation and other SO Questions, I need to add * * * * * cd /path-to-your-project && php artisan schedule:run >> /dev/null 2>&1 on crontab -e and check with crontab -l just to confirm that the every minute cron was added. The cron item added runs the protected function schedule inside app\Console\Kernel every minute. Everything works on local and development. However on the production, the cron is not running the schedule at all.

What I tried:

Add a dummy cronjob * * * * * php echo "something" >> /path-to-your-project/storage/logs/test.txt

• This creates a test.txt file with text Could not open input file: echo added every minute. Command is wrong but I know that the cronjob is working. Both working in Development and Production.

Add a Log::info("TEST"); inside function schedule() both develop and production.

• On Development, I can see the text TEST inside laravel.logs but not in Production.

Note: I tried to manually run php artisan command:command and the command does run (with and without sudo).

Note2: I checked /var/logs/cron and I can see both the php artisan and php echo being logged.

Note3: manually running php artisan schedule:run, I can see in the terminal the text No scheduled commands are ready to run. And the Log inside the schedule was also written.

Is there any part that I missed? Is my setup wrong?

check your php path and set as per your path /usr/bin/php /var/www/html/artisan

use

* * * * * /usr/bin/php /var/www/html/artisan schedule:run >> /dev/null 2>&1

instead of

* * * * * cd /path-to-your-project && php artisan schedule:run >> /dev/null 2>&1

CodePudding user response：

I was able to run my php/artisan script using cron. The command used was:

* * * * * /bin/php7 /path-to-project/artisan schedule:run >> /dev/null 2>&1

Where /bin/php7 is the command to execute php scripts. Might be because of how the server was setup.
