How to run cron job on hostinger for laravel

I need to set some laravel scheduler on hostinger. How to set this ? My commands are located inside app/console/commands/realtime.php file. Should I include this file path in command to run box in hostinger or something else ?

Solution

  • To set up a Cron Job, open Websites → Manage, search for Cron Jobs on the sidebar and click on it:

    hostinger cron menu

    Choose type as Php:

    enter image description here

    In the field "Command to run", change the path to your project path.

    This should be something like:

    /usr/bin/php /home/u1XXXXXXX/artisan schedule:run

    Select these options to run tasks on every minute:

    enter image description here

    And lastly you should schedule the command to run on the app/Console/Kernel.php

    <?php
 
namespace App\Console;
 
use Illuminate\Console\Scheduling\Schedule;
use Illuminate\Foundation\Console\Kernel as ConsoleKernel;
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\DB;
use Commands\RealTime;
 
class Kernel extends ConsoleKernel
{
    /**
     * Define the application's command schedule.
     */
    protected function schedule(Schedule $schedule): void
    {
        $schedule->command(RealTime::class)->daily();
    }
}

    Instead of using the daily schedule you can choose from available methods for different type of schedules, here is the link.

    Refer to the task scheduling documentation on Laravel's official documentation
