I am trying to use the Laravel Task scheduler on a windows server but after various research, I can't figure out how to do this.
Obviously I can do this on linux but as I can understand triggering artisan from the windows task scheduler , is not enough.
Could you please help me out on this?
here are the steps you should follow in order to perform the desired task
cls cd C:\xampp\htdocs\ProjectName php artisan schedule:run dir
2 you must change C:\xampp\htdocs\ProjectName to the location of
yout application and then save it.
3 press Windows + R, write Taskschd.msc and press enter
4 left click on Task Scheduler (Local) > click on 'create task'
5 In the 'general' tab write a Name for the task into the Name
field
6 Check the radio button 'Run whether user is logged on or not'
7 In the tab 'Actions' click on 'New', in the field 'Action' select
'Start a program'
8 Click on 'browse' and search and select the .bat file you just
created and the press on 'OK'
9 In the tab 'Triggers' press on 'New'
10 In the Field 'Begin the task' select 'On a schedule'
11 In settings check radio button 'Daily' > in Start set the hour
to 1:00:00 a.m. > in Recur every set 1 days
12 Into advanced settings check 'Repeat task every' and set [ 5
minutes +] for a duration of [Indefinitely +]
13 In advanced settings the checkbox 'Enabled' must be checked
14 press OK
15 in the tab 'Settings' you must have the next configurations [/] Allow task to be run on demand [/] Run task as soon as possible after a scheduled start is missed [/] If the task fails, restart every 1 minute [/] Stop the task if it turns longer than 3 days [/] if the running task doesn´t end when requested force it to stop if the task is already running, then the following rule applies [Queue a new instance +]
16 press the OK button, write the user password , and then you
could start the task if you need
I hope this to be useful for you.
