Execute external php script as cron in laravel 5 job scheduler - laravel-5

I am trying to execute an external php script using laravel job scheduler. The script works fine when executed using cron tab, However, when I try to run this via scheduler using the command below
$schedule->exec("/home/script.php")->cron('* * * * * *');
It does not perform any operation. Is there anything which I am missing ?

you need to add the following Cron entry to your server
* * * * * php /path/to/artisan schedule:run >> /dev/null 2>&1

Check if Task Scheduling works on local, Laravel

I am using Task Scheduling from Laravel, on local env. and till now I test it with php artisan word:weeklyUpdate , but I want to check if the Cron Job run automatically on a specific date, like in my code.
protected function schedule(Schedule $schedule)
{
$scheduler = new LkpSchedulerUpdateDate;
$scheduler = $scheduler->first()->toArray();
$schedule->command('word:weeklyUpdate')->weeklyOn($scheduler->date, $scheduler->time);
//ex: weeklyOn(3, 05:49:00)
}
Create a schedule that runs just some minuts after the current time (let's say 5 minuts from now), wait, then check the results.
Edit:
It's because when you run php artisan word:weeklyUpdate` you execute the command directly.
The scheduled task your wrote is equivalent to execute php artisan word:weeklyUpdate in console every week.
Also, in your locale did you activated the cronJob scheduler?
* * * * * cd /path-to-your-project && php artisan schedule:run >> /dev/null 2>&1

How to check cronjob is working for laravel app in digital ocean server?

This is scheduling code in laravel.
Console .php
$schedule->command('mail:customer')->dailyAt('9:00 am');
$schedule->command('renew:booking')->dailyAt('9:00 am');
And I 'd like to run this on an Ubuntu server. I am just using crontab for email sending in laravel application. For this, I had used
* * * * * * php /var/www_testing/artisan schedule:run 1>> /dev/null 2>&1
This command in digital ocean server. But I am not sure if this is working or not. So I just need to check this is working. Is there exact and fast way for testing?
yes use facility of logs provided by laravel.
you can put something like this in your Job or Command whatever you have used.
public function handle()
{
Log::info('Cron Job Started');
// your logic
Log::info('Cron Job Ended');
}
This will put a log into Laravel.log file and if the cron is running perfectly you will get the log here..
Also you have syntax error here try this.
* * * * * php /var/www_testing/artisan schedule:run 1>> /dev/null 2>&1

Laravel Schedule creates a file for every call to a command

I have created a schedule with Laravel and after some struggle I managed to get it working but the problem now is that for every call to the a command it creates a file inside the laravel folder and they are getting pilled up.
I am using this command at the crontab to keep it running:
* * * * * /usr/local/bin/php path/to/artisan schedule:run >> /dev/null 2>&1
I guess I need to use some options to prevent it from output. Any idea?

Cron doesn't work in Magento1.7

I use Magento for my shopping, and I want to give all logged-in users have 3% discount for all products, so I wrote a rule, but it only worked for two days and after two days I had to re-apply it again, my Cron setting in Magento admin is:
Generate Schedules Every: 60
Schedule Ahead for:10
Missed if Not Run Within:60
History Cleanup Every:120
Success History Lifetime:120
Failure History Lifetime:120
To solve this problem, I wrote a Cron job in DirectAdmin panel to call cron.sh file in root of Magento (cron.sh is a shell script file that call cron.php), but it did not work properly, please guide me to solve this problem.
Cron job setting in Directadmin panel is:
0 0 * * * /usr/local/bin/php /home/noorantel/domains/nooran.com/public_html/shopping/cron.sh >> /home/noorantel/domains/nooran.com/public_html/shopping/var/logfile.txt
So firstly the Magento cron should run with the following regularity.
*/5 * * * *
This will mean that it will run every 5 mins.
Secondly you seem to mix up what type the file is either you need to run the php version or the bash version but what you seem to be doing is trying to run the bash version with php. Try the following.
*/5 * * * * /bin/sh /absolute/path/to/magento/cron.sh
Or
*/5 * * * * /usr/local/bin/php /absolute/path/to/magento/cron.php

CRON JOB is not running script

I'm trying to schedule a cron job here is my command:
*/5 * * * * USER -q /path/cron.php -mdefault 1
I'm trying to run this magento script every 5 minutes. I see the command being run when I open the cron log via grep CRON /var/log/syslog.
unfortunately the script never executes. I would appreciate any help.
Edit the crontab of the user you want to assign the job to:
sudo -u USER crontab -e
then in the crontab you can schedule the cron.php job in the following way:
*/5 * * * * php /path/to/cron.php
