README

Define background jobs in standard crontab format and the Cron Runner will execute them when they are due. Jobs can be either normal scripts, or calls to static functions with automatic autoloading taken care of.

Example usage

crontab file within your project directory:

00 * * * *	ExampleClass::hourlyTask()
0 22 * * 1-5	YourApp\Accounts\Daily::nightRoutine("you can pass properties too!")
# This is a comment. The above job will run at 10pm Mon-Fri.
*/10 * * * *	ExampleClass::runEveryTenMinutes

Start the Runner: vendor/bin/cron.

If you're using WebEngine, the Cron Runner is automatically started for you by running gt run.

Examples

There is an example directory with numbered scripts that can be run directly with php. Each one embeds its own crontab string so the schedule and output stay together.
