{
  $dayStr = date('Y-m-d');

  $schedule->command('rentals_united:update_reservations --since="-21 minute"')
    ->appendOutputTo(storage_path("logs/cron-{$dayStr}.log"))
    ->cron('*/20 * * * * *');

  $schedule->command('rentals_united:cache_dictionaries')
    ->appendOutputTo(storage_path("logs/cron-{$dayStr}.log"))
    ->monthlyOn(1, '00:00');

  $schedule->command('rentals_united:update_change_log')
    ->appendOutputTo(storage_path("logs/cron-{$dayStr}.log"))
    ->dailyAt('00:00');

  $schedule->command('rentals_united:update_properties --since="-25 hour"')
