, _(*1)

Cron integration for symfony., _(*2)

Installation

Installing this bundle can be done through these simple steps:, _(*3)

1. Add the bundle to your project as a composer dependency:

composer require cron/cron-bundle

1. Add the bundle to your application kernel:

// app/AppKernel.php
public function registerBundles()
{
    // ...
    $bundle = array(
        // ...
        new Cron\CronBundle\CronCronBundle(),
    );
    // ...

    return $bundle;
}

1. Update your DB schema

bin/console make:migration
bin/console doctrine:migrations:migrate

1. Start using the bundle:

bin/console cron:list
bin/console cron:run

1. To run your cron jobs automatically, add the following line to your (or whomever's) crontab:

* * * * * /path/to/symfony/install/app/console cron:run 1>> /dev/null 2>&1

OR If you don't have a dedicated cron daemon (e.g. in Heroku), you can use:, _(*4)

bin/console cron:start # will run in background mode, use --blocking to run in foreground
bin/console cron:stop # will stop the background cron daemon

Available commands

list

bin/console cron:list

Show a list of all jobs. Job names are show with [x] if they are enabled and [ ] otherwise., _(*5)

create

bin/console cron:create

Create a new job., _(*6)

delete

bin/console cron:delete _jobName_

Delete a job. For your own protection, the job must be disabled first., _(*7)

enable

bin/console cron:enable _jobName_

Enable a job., _(*8)

disable

bin/console cron:disable _jobName_

Disable a job., _(*9)

run

bin/console cron:run [--force] [job]

which we borrowed from Symfony. Make sure to check out php-cs-fixer as this will help you a lot. Please note that --force forces the job to be executed (even if disabled) based on the job schedule, _(*10)

run now, independent of the job schedule

bin/console cron:run --schedule_now [--force] job

run in non-cli contexts (i.e. from a controller)

bin/console cron:run --script-name='bin/console'

start

bin/console cron:start [--blocking]

Start the cron as a daemon. By default it forks itself to the background and suppresses any output. The --blocking option will keep it in the foreground and will display output. This is useful when you don't have a dedicated cron daemon (e.g. on Heroku)., _(*11)

stop

bin/console cron:stop

Stops the background cron daemon started with cron:start. This is not applicable when the daemon was started with --blocking., _(*12)
