[中文文档](README.zh.md)

PHP 8.2+ task scheduler with a fluent API and full lifecycle management.

Features
--------

[](#features)

- **Cron expressions** — standard 5-field or 6-field (with seconds); supports `*/n`, ranges, lists, weekday/month names, `@daily` aliases
- **Fluent API** — `second(3)`, `minute(5)`, `hour(2)`, `dailyAt('8:30')`, `weeklyOn('monday')`
- **Constraints** — time range `between()`, environment `environments()`, condition `when()`/`skip()`
- **Lifecycle hooks** — `before()`, `after()`, `onSuccess()`, `onFailure()`
- **Overlap prevention** — `withoutOverlapping()` via file-based mutex
- **Timezone support** — global per-daemon and per-task
- **Three task types** — Closure, shell command, `Class@method`
- **Daemon mode** — continuous loop with second precision, auto-fork to background

Requirements
------------

[](#requirements)

ExtensionPurposeRequired`ext-pcntl`Process control: `pcntl_fork()` (background daemon), signal handlingOptional — needed for daemon background mode`ext-posix`POSIX: `posix_setsid()` (new session), `posix_kill()` (stop daemon)Optional — needed for daemon start/stop`ext-json`Task info serialization (`.tasks.json` PID file)Optional — bundled with PHP by default`ext-opcache``opcache_reset()` (periodic reset in long-running process)Optional — works fine without> `ext-pcntl` and `ext-posix` are CLI-only and unavailable in Web SAPI. If `ext-posix` is missing, `stop` falls back to `exec("kill ...")`.
