Laravel Scheduled queue:work not working automatically need to manual trigger - laravel

Question

I have a very large cron job that need to be carry out, but server cannot handle it due to memory leaks, so i follow the suggestion to use laravel Queue, and because i can't always run php artisan queue:work, so i wrote a scheduled queue command that trigger every 5 minutes, but the queue not working unless i manual trigger it on server.
Here is my command for queue:
<?php
namespace App\Console\Commands;
use Illuminate\Console\Command;
class EnsureQueueListenerIsRunning extends Command
{
/**
* The name and signature of the console command.
*
* #var string
*/
protected $signature = 'queue:checkup';
/**
* The console command description.
*
* #var string
*/
protected $description = 'Ensure that the queue listener is running.';
/**
* Create a new command instance.
*
* #return void
*/
public function __construct()
{
parent::__construct();
}
/**
* Execute the console command.
*
* #return mixed
*/
public function handle()
{
//
$this->startQueueListener();
if ( ! $this->isQueueListenerRunning()) {
$this->comment('Queue listener is being started.');
$pid = $this->startQueueListener();
$this->saveQueueListenerPID($pid);
}
$this->comment('Queue listener is running.');
}
/**
* Check if the queue listener is running.
*
* #return bool
*/
private function isQueueListenerRunning()
{
if ( ! $pid = $this->getLastQueueListenerPID()) {
return false;
}
$process = exec("ps -p $pid -opid=,cmd=");
//$processIsQueueListener = str_contains($process, 'queue:listen'); // 5.1
$processIsQueueListener = ! empty($process); // 5.6 - see comments
return $processIsQueueListener;
}
/**
* Get any existing queue listener PID.
*
* #return bool|string
*/
private function getLastQueueListenerPID()
{
if ( ! file_exists(__DIR__ . '/queue.pid')) {
return false;
}
return file_get_contents(__DIR__ . '/queue.pid');
}
/**
* Save the queue listener PID to a file.
*
* #param $pid
*
* #return void
*/
private function saveQueueListenerPID($pid)
{
file_put_contents(__DIR__ . '/queue.pid', $pid);
}
/**
* Start the queue listener.
*
* #return int
*/
private function startQueueListener()
{
//$command = 'php-cli ' . base_path() . '/artisan queue:listen --timeout=60 --sleep=5 --tries=3 > /dev/null & echo $!'; // 5.1
$command = 'php artisan queue:work --timeout=60 --sleep=5 --tries=3 > /dev/null & echo $!'; // 5.6 - see comments
$pid = exec($command);
return $pid;
}
}
Here is the kernel:
$schedule->command('queue:checkup')->everyFiveMinutes();
What should i do to make it work?

Answer 1

if you want to set the crone job to run automatically without initiating using command.**
go to your terminal: and run this command
crontab -e
This will open server crontab file, paste this code inside, save it and exit
* * * * * php /path/to/artisan schedule:run >> /dev/null 2>&1
