Laravel Schedule Frequency Options
Categories: laravel
I have a tasks schedule to run every Monday and Wednesday, I set the scheduler to run like below:
// Incorrect.
$schedule->command('inspire')
->weekly()
->wednesdays()
->fridays()
->at('05:00');
At first, I thought it would run every Wednesday and Friday. Reading more carefully with the documentation, wednesdays()
and fridays()
are the schedule constraints. The way I setup meaning that it will honor the last contraint I set. In this case, it will be fridays()
.
So, one way to meet my requirement with the fluent schedule setters with Laravel, it will be:
$schedule->command('inspire')
->cron('* * * * 3,5') // Wednesday and Friday
->at('05:00');
Of course, you can set it as
$schedule->command('inspire')
->cron('5 5 * * 3,5');
It’s up to you.
