Scheduled task with parameter laravel - laravel

Question

in Laravel 5.6 i have a controller that invokes a command through a Process component.
The command run fine, is about a compression of a folder with the name the user gives.
$command = 'tar -czvf '.$nameFile.' storage/images/';
$process = new Process($command);
$process->setTimeout(1800);
$process->run();
I need to schedule that job 3 times a day. I saw task scheduling with file app/Console/Kernel.php; the problem is to execute the process with the file name the user gives.
How can i programm a Schedule task in this situation?
Thanks

Answer 1

Assume you run the schedule tasks three times a day, per each user input. You can create a eloquent model for such purpose, says ProcessTask, and save the required data in Controller:
ProcessTask::create(['user_id' => $userId, 'name_file' => $nameFile]);
Then, you can make scheduling task as:
$schedule->call(function () {
$tasks = ProcessTask::all();
foreach ($tasks as $task) {
$command = 'tar -czvf '.$task->name_file.' storage/images/';
....
}
})->hourly()
->when(function() { return date('H') % 8 == 0; }) // run tasks at 00:00, 08:00, 16:00
->name('processTask')
->withoutOverlapping();
If the scheduling tasks are time-consuming, the best practice is to dispatch tasks to queue and let workers consume it.
