So, here I will teach you how to create a cron job in laravel 9, and how to create custom commands in laravel 9.

So, let's see cron job scheduling in laravel 9, how to create cron job in laravel 9, how to run cron job in laravel 9, custom command in laravel 9.

Step 1 : Install Laravel 9

Step 2 : Create Cron Job Command

Step 3 : Register Cron Job Command

Step 4 : Run Scheduler Command

Step 5 : Laravel Set Cron Job on Live Server

 

First of all, you need to create a custom command. it will execute with the task scheduling cron job.

php artisan make:command TestingCron --command=testing:cron

 

 

Now add the below code in your file location 

app/Console/Commands/TestingCron.php

<?php

namespace App\Console\Commands;

use Illuminate\Console\Command;

class TestingCron extends Command
{
    /**
     * The name and signature of the console command.
     *
     * @var string
     */
    protected $signature = 'testing:cron';

    /**
     * The console command description.
     *
     * @var string
     */
    protected $description = 'Command description';

    /**
     * Create a new command instance.
     *
     * @return void
     */
    public function __construct()
    {
        parent::__construct();
    }

    /**
     * Execute the console command.
     *
     * @return mixed
     */
    public function handle()
    {
        
        \Log::info("Testing Cron is Running ... !");
     
        /*
           Write your database logic we bellow:
           User::create(['email'=>'send mail']);
        */
      
        $this->info('testing:cron Command Run Successfully !');
    }
}

 

 

Now in the kernel file, we need to set a specific time interval to run the cron job.

<?php

namespace App\Console;

use Illuminate\Console\Scheduling\Schedule;
use Illuminate\Foundation\Console\Kernel as ConsoleKernel;

class Kernel extends ConsoleKernel
{
    /**
     * The Artisan commands provided by your application.
     *
     * @var array
     */
    protected $commands = [
        Commands\TestingCron::class,
    ];

    /**
     * Define the application's command schedule.
     *
     * @param  \Illuminate\Console\Scheduling\Schedule  $schedule
     * @return void
     */
    protected function schedule(Schedule $schedule)
    {
        $schedule->command('testing:cron')->everyMinute();
    }

    /**
     * Register the commands for the application.
     *
     * @return void
     */
    protected function commands()
    {
        $this->load(__DIR__.'/Commands');

        require base_path('routes/console.php');
    }
}

there are many more task schedule frequencies that you may assign to a task.

Now, We are ready to run the cron job scheduler command. So, run the below artisan command in your terminal.
