The official documentation can be seen here.

Setting up a Laravel cron job in cPanel

I have the following function:

protected function schedule(Schedule $schedule)
{
    $schedule->command('email:users')->everyMinute();
}

when I run the command 

artisan schedule:run

it sends an email but when I add the following command to the cpanel as a cron job it doesn’t send any email. Cpanel suppose to email me a notification when the cron job is run but I haven’t receive a single email.

php /home/rain/artisan schedule:run 1>> /dev/null 2>&1

Where am I doing wrong?

Also when I run the command artisan schedule:run it runs it only once. I am very curious why do I have to add ->everyMinute(); if it is not going to run every minute? If I want to send it weekly I can setup the cron job. Why do I have to write to add ->weekly(); in the function if cron job is sending it weekly?

    The Laravel scheduler assumes you have a cronjob every minutes. The scheduler is only useful if you want to have multiple tasks.

    Normally you have one single cronjob configured in cPanel and you can set the scheduler to everyWeek() and have another task that would be everyDay() without having to add of change the cronjobs in your cPanel.

    Laravel will automagically know if the task has already been run.

    https://laravel.com/docs/5.4/scheduling

    This Cron will call the Laravel command scheduler every minute. When
    the schedule:run command is executed, Laravel will evaluate your
    scheduled tasks and runs the tasks that are due.

    It worked for me:

    First try your command without waiting:

    /usr/local/bin/php /home/hosting-username/laravel-folder/artisan schedule:run

    Then, once you checked if it worked, add this:

    /usr/local/bin/php /home/hosting-username/laravel-folder/artisan schedule:run >> /dev/null 2>&1

    This Works for me

    /usr/local/bin/php /home/hosting-username/laravel-folder/artisan schedule:run >> /dev/null

    Just Make Sure you use exact version of php to execute schedule

    e.g
    if your php v is 7.3 then the code will be

     /usr/local/bin/ea-php73 /home/hosting-username/laravel-folder/artisan schedule:run >> /dev/null
