With minimum configuration according to this stackoverflow post:
nohup php artisan queue:work --daemon &
This will run the queue:work process in the background and will not stop if an user logs out. The output of the process will be deposited into a file entitled nohup.out in the directory where you run the command. To redirect the output to /dev/null or Laravel log :
nohup php artisan queue:work --daemon > /dev/null 2>&1 &
nohup php artisan queue:work --daemon > app/storage/logs/laravel.log &
To kill the process: find pid by ps -ef |grep artisan. Then you can run kill [pid]. You will need to respawn new workers each time code changes.
For Production servers, Laravel suggested using a process monitor, Linux Supervisor, that can detect when your queue:work processes exit and automatically restart them. This would be good for system crashes.
Here’s the link to the documentation: https://laravel.com/docs/8.x/queues#supervisor-configuration
Using Laravel Task Scheduler: https://laravel.com/docs/5.7/scheduling#scheduling-artisan-commands
Schedule cron job:
crontab -e * * * * * cd /path_to_project && php artisan schedule:run >> /dev/null 2>&1
Cron will call the Laravel command scheduler every minute.
The 4 * means:
- 1: Minute (0-59)
- 2: Hours (0-23)
- 3: Day (0-31)
- 4: Month (0-12 [12 == December])
- 5: Day of the week(0-7 [7 or 0 == Sunday])
