README

This bundle allow you to manage your automated command execution directly on your Symfony command with an annotation.

Install the bundle

To install this bundle you need to do two things:

• Add the dependency in your project with composer
• Add an entry in crontab to launch the main command every minute

Install the dependency

You can install the bundle via composer this command

composer require hexalgo-labs/cron-style-scheduler-bundle

Add an entry in crontab

Add the following line in crontab

* * * * * php /path/to/your/project/bin/console cron:run >> /dev/null 2>&1

This command will be executed every minute, and will check if there is command which is due and launch it

How to use it

On your Symfony command, add the annotation CronCommand with the cron expression on the class.

For example:

use Symfony\Component\Console\Input\InputInterface;
use Symfony\Component\Console\Output\OutputInterface;
use Hexalgo\CronStyleSchedulerBundle\Annotation\CronCommand;

/**
 * @CronCommand("30 * * * *")
 */
class MyTestCommand extends Command
{
  public static $defaultName = 'app:test-command';

  protected function execute(InputInterface $input, OutputInterface $output) : int
  {
      return 1;
  }
}

This command will be executed every 30 minutes.

To help you to create the cron expression you can use https://crontab.guru.

Note for Windows user

When using this bundle with Windows, the command will not be executed in background when you start the command cron:run. The command will wait until all the launched commands are executed completely before finishing.
