It's rock solid and in most cases you should stick to using it. If you want to simulate the scheduler running every minute in a test environment, using cron can be cumbersome. This package provides a command to run the scheduler every minute, without relying on cron. Instead it uses a [ReactPHP](https://reactphp.org) loop. This is how you can start the cronless schedule: ``` php artisan schedule:run-cronless ``` This command will never end. Behind the scenes it will execute `php artisan schedule` every minute.

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. Probably you only want to use this schedule in a development environment. ``` composer require spatie/laravel-cronless-schedule --dev ``` Usage ----- [](#usage) This is how you can start the cronless schedule: ``` php artisan schedule:run-cronless ``` By default, it will run every minute. ### Manually triggering a run [](#manually-triggering-a-run) To perform an extra run of the scheduler, just press enter. ### Using an alternative frequency [](#using-an-alternative-frequency) If you want to run the scheduler at another frequency, you can pass an amount of seconds to the `frequency` option. Here is an example where the schedule will be run every 5 seconds. ``` php artisan schedule:run-cronless --frequency=5 ``` ### Using another command [](#using-another-command) If you want to run another command instead of the scheduler, just can pass it to the `command` option. Here is an example where another command will be run every 5 seconds. ``` php artisan schedule:run-cronless --command=your-favorite-artisan-command ``` ### Only run the schedule for a certain period [](#only-run-the-schedule-for-a-certain-period) By default, the command will run forever. You can shorten that period by passing an amount of seconds to the `stop-after-seconds` option. In this example we'll stop the command after 5 seconds ``` php artisan schedule:run-cronless --stop-after-seconds=5 ``` Testing ------- [](#testing) ``` composer test ``` Changelog --------- [](#changelog) Please see [CHANGELOG](CHANGELOG.md) for more information on what has changed recently.
