Laravel 5 - Task schedule withoutOverlapping not working

Question

I try to run schedule on Laravel 5. Its work fine when I run this:

$schedule->call(function() {
   // do something here..
})->everyMinute();

Answer 1

The cron withoutOverlapping() is now working. Let's understand how it works

For E.g:
$schedule->command('command')
                    ->hourly()
                    ->withoutOverlapping();
The withoutOverlapping means when cron runs then it will generate a lock file in storage/framework/ directory and once it's completed then it will delete the lock file. Now next time onwards, it will check weather the lock file is there or not. If lock file is there that means the previous cron is not completed and it will not allow the cron to overlap the previous one. 

In this scenario, the lock file is there into the storage/framework/ directory so that the cron is not working

**Lock file looks like:** schedule-random_string
For E.g: schedule-0bfdb7f0bc14b27d84c7d6f2a2528e85b0847fc6

**To Fix:** Remove or rename the lock file (storage/framework/schedule-0bfdb7f0bc14b27d84c7d6f2a2528e85b0847fc6)
