Laravel 5.1 Task Scheduling on Windows

Question

I\'m trying to get Laravel 5.1 Task Scheduling working on IIS. When I run a batch file using Windows task manager it will run the task one time only. How can I get ->everyMinute

Answer 1

You need to create a scheduled task that will execute that batch file every minute.

To do so :

• Press Win + R and run taskschd.msc

• In the right panel click Create Basic Task and give it a Name + Description.

• Click Next and select Start a Program option, then navigate to the batch file and select it. No need to fill the other fields.

• Select "Open the properties of this task..." and then Finish.

• On the Trigger tab, you can change between Daily or At Logon (as I do).

  Here is the part that's not documented, open the dropbox and insert 1 using the keyboard, this is the only way to set the repeat time at 1 minute (even if the dropdown doesn't list it).

  Larevel needs the cronjob to run every minute, otherwise it won't work as expected.

  Also check "Indefinitely" to run it forlifetime.

Hope it helps.
