Runs Symfony Commands based on cron expressions

Symfony Command Cron

, _(*1)

This package functions almost the same as a normal Symfony console application, except that the commands to run are not determined manually (e.g. command line parameter), but by a file with a cron syntax that can be saved with your application in the repository., _(*2)

The main reason for creating it is the need for some mechanism to easily update and track changes to cron scripts over multiple servers., _(*3)

Requirements

• PHP >=5.4

Usage

Your code would look something like this (not much different from a normaly Symfony Console application, except the constructor takes a cron file to work with., _(*4)

$application = new CronApplication(APPPATH.'config/background.cron');
$application->add(new \Vendor\Command\DoStuff());
$application->add(new \Vendor\Command\DoImportantStuff());
$application->runDueCommands();

The cron file syntax is simple, and follows the accepted pattern. Complete description of the patterns available can be found here: https://github.com/mtdowling/cron-expression, _(*5)
