How It Works
SchedulerShell works by scheduling one cron (SchedulerShell) for your project. Then in bootstrap.php you can create intervals for all your tasks. Deploying new scheduled tasks are now much easier; one crontab entry executes all your tasks.
Install
This Shell was developed for CakePHP 3.
Composer Installation (recommended)
In your project's composer.json file add this to your require:
`
Manual Installation
Copy the Scheduler plugin into your App/Plugin folder and rename the folder to Scheduler.
Load the Plugin
In your bootstrap.php file add either:
or
Schedule a single system cron by the shortest interval you need for SchedulerShell.php. For example, if you have 5 tasks and the most often run is every 5 minutes, then schedule this cron to run at least every 5 minutes. For more help see Shells as Cron Jobs.
Example cron job:
`
This would run the SchedulerShell every 5 minutes.
Now once this shell is scheduled we are able to add our entries to bootstrap.php. Lets say we want to schedule a CleanUp task daily at 5am and a NewsletterTask for every 15 minutes.
The key to each entry will be used to store the previous run. These must be unique!
interval is set one of two ways. 1) For set times of day we use PHP's relative time formats: "next day 5:00".
2) To use an interval to achieve "every 15 minutes" we use DateInterval string format: "PT15M".
task is simply the name of the Task.
There are a couple optional arguments you may pass: "action" and "pass".
action defaults to "execute", which is the method name to call in the task you specify.
pass defaults to [], which is the array of arguments to pass to your "action".
Storage of Results
SchedulerShell keeps track of each run in a json file. By default this is stored in TMP and is named "cron_scheduler.json".
If you need to change either of these you may use:
Preventing Simultaneous SchedulerShells Running Same Tasks
By default, the SchedulerShell will exit if it is already running and has been for less than 10 minutes. You can adjust this by setting:
This works by creating a flag file while the process is running, and deleting this file once it is complete. If the file exists, but is older than the timeout specified the scheduler will continue. Although you shouldn't need to, you can change the name of this file:
Other Notes/Known Issues
- The optional pass arguments have not been thoroughly tested
- PHP prior to version 5.3.6 only used relative datetime for the DateTime::modify() function. This could result in an interval of "next day 5:00" not running if the previous
lastRun
time was 05:02. Therefore this plugin should only be run on PHP >= 5.3.6.
Contributing
Contributions are much appreciated. Before you burn up too much time on a fix, check the posted issues, pull requests, and branches to see if someone has addressed the issue.
When making changes keep in mind the master
branch is always the latest stable version. I do not apply changes directly to this branch, but rather to the cakephp-v* branches. When the latest cakephp version's branch is stable I tag it and merge it with master.
The quick overview:
- Fork/Checkout the cakephp-v* branch of the cake version you're applying changes for
- From a terminal
cd
into the directory and runcomposer install
- Write any tests and changes you would like to make
- Run
vendor/bin/phpunit
to verify all tests pass and your code works - Commit, Push, and send a pull request back to the cakephp-v* branch
