Introduction
CakeScheduler allows you to write cron jobs right from PHP files. It works for CakePHP shell as well as any other valid PHP code. Basically it is a replacement of the conventional crontab file.
Why Use It
The conventional way of writing a cron job is to place an entry in the crontab file each time you need to schedule a job. The problem with this approach is that you have to login(SSH) to the server each time.
By using CakeScheduler, we are able to place the cron jobs in the source control system and deploy them to production just like any other PHP code.
Installation
-
To install the CakeScheduler plugin, you can use composer. From your application's ROOT directory (where composer.json file is located) run the following:
-
You will need to add the following line to your application's
config/bootstrap.phpfile: - You have to export an Cruz Configuration via
Starting The Scheduler
We only need to install one ordinary cron job which runs every minute. This cron job will enable CakeScheduler to schedule all the subsequent jobs:
Defining Schedules
A schedule is basically a PHP file ending with Tasks.php and it must return the CakeSchedule object. All schedules should be place inside a folder called src/Shell/Schedule/.
For example:
Scheduling CakePHP Shell
To schedule a CakePHP shell, call CakeSchedule::shell:
Scheduling Any Other Commands
To schedule any other commands, call CakeSchedule::run:
Frequency Options
There is plenty of ways to define the frequency of the execution:
| Method | Description |
|---|---|
| ->cron() | the classic way of defining a schedule |
| ->hourly() | beginning of each hour |
| ->daily() | daily at midnight |
| ->weekly | sunday of each week |
| ->monthly() | first day of each month |
| ->quarterly() | first day of each quarter |
| ->yearly() | first day of each year |
| ->everyFiveMinutes() | every five minutes |
| ->everyMinute() | every minute |
| ->everyTwelveHours() | every twelve hours |
| ->everyMonth() | every month |
| ->everySixMonths() | every six months |
| ->everyFifteenDays() | every fifteen days |
| ->on('13:30 2016-03-01') | at a specific date and time |
| ->at('13:30') | at a specific time |
Under the hood, CakeSchedule is using the great lavary/crunz library. It has a large number of options for us to configure the frequency of the execution. Check out its official documentation if you are looking for more available frequency.
