It uses the cron system from Linux on both operating systems. Installation ------------ [](#installation) 1. Run the following command to add the bundle to your project as a composer dependency: `composer require dades/scheduledtask` 2. Add the bundle to your application kernel: ``` // app/AppKernel.php public function registerBundles() { // ... $bundle = array( // ... new Dades\ScheduledTaskBundle\DadesScheduledTaskBundle(), ); // ... return $bundles; } ``` 3. If you didn't create your database before, run `php bin/console doctrine:database:create` 4. Then you have to create the table that will store your scheduled tasks: `php bin/console doctrine:schema:update --force` ### Windows OS [](#windows-os) 5. You have to tell to your system to check every minute if a task should be run. To do that, run the following command on your cmd: `schtasks /CREATE /TN "uniqueName" /TR "php D:\path\to\your\project\bin\console cron:run" /SC minute` Make sure that schtasks is globally install on your system. ### Linux OS [](#linux-os) 5. You have to tell to your system to check every minute if a task should be run. To do that, you have to add a cronjob in your crontab: 1. run `crontab -e` to edit your crontab 2. add `* * * * * php /path/to/your/project/bin/console cron:run >> ~/tmp 2>&1` in the file How it works ------------ [](#how-it-works) Now you're ready to create all the scheduled tasks you want. You just need to handle these 2 classes: Dades\\ScheduledTaskBundle\\Entity\\ScheduledTask Dades\\ScheduledTaskBundle\\Service\\ScheduledTaskService Inject the service that handles ScheduledTask class: ``` use Dades\ScheduledTaskBundle\Service\ScheduledTaskService; public function indexAction(Request $request, ScheduledTaskService $scheduled) { //code } ``` Note that this is a Service, so you can inject it anywhere you want. ### Create a scheduled task [](#create-a-scheduled-task) Once your Service is injected, you can do the following thing: ``` public function indexAction(Request $request, ScheduledTaskService $scheduledTaskService) { $task = $scheduledTaskService->create(); $task->setCommand("php --version")->setCronExpresion("* * * * *"); $scheduledTaskService->save($task); return new Response("it works"); } ``` In this example, the "php --version" command will be run every minute. ### Get one or more scheduled tasks [](#get-one-or-more-scheduled-tasks) You can get a task by its id or get all tasks in an array. Example: ``` public function indexAction(Request $request, ScheduledTaskService $scheduledTaskService) { //get the task with id 1 $task = $scheduledTaskService->getScheduledTask(1); //get all tasks $tasks = $scheduledTaskService->getScheduledTasks(); //... } ``` ### Update a scheduled task [](#update-a-scheduled-task) To update a task, just set the value that you want to change and call the ScheduledTaskService: ``` public function indexAction(Request $request, ScheduledTaskService $scheduledTaskService) { //get the task with id 1 $task = $scheduledTaskService->getScheduledTask(1); $task->setCommand("crontab -l")->setCronExpresion("0 5 * * *"); $scheduledTaskService->update($task); //... } ``` ### Delete a task [](#delete-a-task) You have to get the task that you want to remove and call the delete method: ``` public function indexAction(Request $request, ScheduledTaskService $scheduledTaskService) { //get the task with id 1 $task = $scheduledTaskService->getScheduledTask(1); $scheduledTaskService->delete($task); //... } ``` ### Where the magic happens [](#where-the-magic-happens) Now you know how to install, setup and handle scheduled tasks, but you don't know yet where they are executed. Just have a look in the Dades\\ScheduledTaskBundle\\Command\\RunCronCommand class. ``` if ($this->scheduledTaskService->isDue($task)) { exec($task->getCommand(), $stderr, $status); ``` These 2 lines to the trick. The first line check if the task $task must be run now. The second line execute the command. More informations ----------------- [](#more-informations) The stdout and stderr streams are logged in the var/logs/dades\_scheduled\_task\_bundle.log. Thanks to this file, you have a trace of all your task executions. If the file doesn't exist, don't worry, it will be automatically created. This bundle use the dragonmantank/cron-expression library. This lib read the cron expression of each task to determine if this task should be run now. I invite you to read more about this [here](https://packagist.org/packages/dragonmantank/cron-expression). ### Health Score 26 — LowBetter than 43% of packages Maintenance20 Infrequent updates — may be unmaintained Popularity9 Limited adoption so far Community6 Small or concentrated contributor base Maturity59 Maturing project, gaining track record Bus Factor1 Top contributor holds 100% of commits — single point of failure How is this calculated?**Maintenance (25%)** — Last commit recency, latest release date, and issue-to-star ratio.
