[Laravel's native scheduler](https://laravel.com/docs/master/scheduling) allows you to schedule Artisan commands to run every minute.

If you need to execute something with a higher frequency, for example every second, than you've come to the right package. With laravel-short-schedule installed, you can do this:

```
// in app\Console\Kernel.php

protected function shortSchedule(\Spatie\ShortSchedule\ShortSchedule $shortSchedule)
{
    // this command will run every second
    $shortSchedule->command('artisan-command')->everySecond();

    // this command will run every 30 seconds
    $shortSchedule->command('another-artisan-command')->everySeconds(30);

    // this command will run every half a second
    $shortSchedule->command('another-artisan-command')->everySeconds(0.5);

    // this command will run every second and its signature will be retrieved from command automatically
    $shortSchedule->command(\Spatie\ShortSchedule\Tests\Unit\TestCommand::class)->everySecond();
}
```

We invest a lot of resources into creating [best in class open source packages](https://spatie.be/open-source). You can support us by [buying one of our paid products](https://spatie.be/open-source/support-us).

We highly appreciate you sending us a postcard from your hometown, mentioning which of our package(s) you are using. You'll find our address on [our contact page](https://spatie.be/about-us). We publish all received postcards on [our virtual postcard wall](https://spatie.be/open-source/postcards).

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

You can install the package via composer:

```
composer require dima-bzz/laravel-short-schedule
```

In your production environment you can start the short scheduler with this command

```
php artisan short-schedule:run
```

You should use a process monitor like [Supervisor](http://supervisord.org/index.html) to keep this task going at all times, and to automatically start it when your server boots. Whenever you change the schedule, you should restart this command.

Restart worker daemon
---------------------

[](#restart-worker-daemon)

Whenever you change the schedule or code, you should run this command. This command send broadcast message to restart worker deamon.

```
php artisan short-schedule:restart
```

After the given this command, the worker and all it's child processes will be terminated. Then supervisor (or similar watcher) will bring it back.

Handle memory leaks
-------------------

[](#handle-memory-leaks)

To deal with commands that leak memory, you can set the lifetime in seconds of the short schedule worker:

```
php artisan short-schedule:run --lifetime=60 // after 1 minute the worker will be terminated
```

After the given amount of seconds, the worker and all it's child processes will be terminated, freeing all memory. Then supervisor (or similar watcher) will bring it back.

### Lumen

[](#lumen)

Before you can run the `php artisan short-schedule:run` command in your Lumen project, you should make a copy of the `ShortScheduleRunCommand` into your `app/Commands` folder:

```
cp ./vendor/dima-bzz/laravel-short-schedule/src/Commands/ShortScheduleRunCommand.php ./app/Console/Commands/ShortScheduleRunCommand.php
```

Next, edit the new `ShortScheduleRunCommand.php` file, and change the namespace from `namespace Spatie\ShortSchedule\Commands;` to `namespace App\Console\Commands;` and you're good to go!

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

In `app\Console\Kernel` you should add a method named `shortSchedule`.

```
// in app\Console\Kernel.php

protected function shortSchedule(\Spatie\ShortSchedule\ShortSchedule $shortSchedule)
{
    // this artisan command will run every second
    $shortSchedule->command('artisan-command')->everySecond();
}
```

### Specify the amount of seconds

[](#specify-the-amount-of-seconds)

You can run an artisan command every single second like this:

```
$shortSchedule->command('artisan-command')->everySecond();
```

You can specify a specific amount of seconds using `everySeconds`

```
$shortSchedule->command('artisan-command')->everySeconds(30);
```

You can even schedule tasks at sub-second frequency. This task will run every half a second.

```
$shortSchedule->command('artisan-command')->everySeconds(0.5);
```

### Scheduling shell commands

[](#scheduling-shell-commands)

Use `exec` to schedule a bash command.

```
$shortSchedule->exec('bash-command')->everySecond();
```

### Preventing overlaps

[](#preventing-overlaps)

By default, a scheduled command will run, even if the previous invocation is still running.

You can prevent that by tacking on `withoutOverlapping`

```
$shortSchedule->command('artisan-command')->everySecond()->withoutOverlapping();
```

### Between time constraints

[](#between-time-constraints)

Limit the task to run between start and end times.

```
$shortSchedule->command('artisan-command')->between('09:00', '17:00')->everySecond();
```

It is safe use overflow days. In this example the command will run on every second between 21:00 and 01:00

```
$shortSchedule->command('artisan-command')->between('21:00', '01:00')->everySecond();
```

### Truth test constraints

[](#truth-test-constraints)

The command will run if the given closure return a truthy value. The closure will be evaluated at the same frequency the command is scheduled. So if you schedule the command to run every second, the given closure will also run every second.

```
$shortSchedule->command('artisan-command')->when(fn() => rand() %2)->everySecond();
```

### Environment constraints

[](#environment-constraints)

The command will only run on the given environment.

```
$shortSchedule->command('artisan-command')->environment('production')->everySecond();
```

You can also pass an array:

```
$shortSchedule->command('artisan-command')->environment(['staging', 'production'])->everySecond();
```

### Composite constraints

[](#composite-constraints)

You can use all constraints mentioned above at once. The command will only execute if all the used constraints pass.

```
$shortSchedule
  ->command('artisan-command')
  ->between('09:00', '17:00')
  ->when($callable)
  ->everySecond();
```

### Maintenance Mode

[](#maintenance-mode)

Commands won't run whilst Laravel is in maintenance mode. If you would like to force a command to run in maintenance mode you can use the `runInMaintenanceMode` method.

```
$shortSchedule->command('artisan-command')->everySecond()->runInMaintenanceMode();
```

### Running Tasks On One Server

[](#running-tasks-on-one-server)

Limit commands to only run on one server at a time.

```
$shortSchedule->command('artisan-command')->everySecond()->onOneServer();
```

### Running in background

[](#running-in-background)

Commands will run in the background.

```
$shortSchedule->command('artisan-command')->everySecond()->runInBackground();
```

### Write verbose to console

[](#write-verbose-to-console)

The console will write which command was executed and when. It will also write why the command was skipped.

```
$shortSchedule->command('artisan-command')->everySecond()->verbose();
```

```
Execution #1 in 11/25/2020 2:03:33 PM output:
Running command: echo 'called'

Execution #2 in 11/25/2020 2:03:32 PM output:
Skipping command (still is running): echo 'called'

Execution #3 in 11/25/2020 2:05:32 PM output:
Skipping command (system is down): echo 'called'

Execution #4 in 11/25/2020 2:15:32 PM output:
Skipping command (has already run on another server): echo 'called'

```

Events
------

[](#events)

Executing any code when responding to these events is blocking. If your code takes a long time to execute, all short scheduled jobs will be delayed. We highly recommend to put any code you wish to execute in response to these events on a queue.

#### `Spatie\ShortSchedule\Events\ShortScheduledTaskStarting`

[](#spatieshortscheduleeventsshortscheduledtaskstarting)

This event will be fired right before a task will be started. It has these public properties:

- `command`: the command string that will be executed
- `process`: the instance of `Symfony\Component\Process\Process` that will be used to execute the command

#### `Spatie\ShortSchedule\Events\ShortScheduledTaskStarted`

[](#spatieshortscheduleeventsshortscheduledtaskstarted)

This event will be fired right after a task has been started. It has these public properties:

- `command`: the command string that is being executed
- `process`: the instance of `Symfony\Component\Process\Process` that is executing the command

#### `Spatie\ShortSchedule\Events\ShortScheduledTaskFinished`

[](#spatieshortscheduleeventsshortscheduledtaskfinished)

This event will be fired right after a task has been finished. It has these public properties:

- `command`: the command string that is being executed
- `process`: the instance of `Symfony\Component\Process\Process` that is executing the command
