Laravel-将控制台输出写入日志文件

Question

I have a command that outputs some lines:

/**
  * Execute the console command.
  *
  * @return mixed
  */
public function handle()
{
    $this->line('');
    $this->info('--------------------------------------------------------');
    $this->info('----------------- Compress documents -------------------');
    $this->info('--------------------------------------------------------');
    $this->line('');
    $progressBar = $this->output->createProgressBar(3);
    $this->info('Selecting files...');
    // ...
    $progressBar->advance();
    $this->info('Processing...');
    // ...
    $progressBar->advance();
    $this->info('Moving files...');
    // ...
    $progressBar->advance();
    $this->info('--------------------------------------------------------');
    $this->info('------------------------ Result ------------------------');
    $this->info('--------------------------------------------------------');
    // ...
    $this->info('Output quality: '.$resolution.'%');
    $this->info('Processed files: '.sizeof($files));
    $this->info('Original size: '.number_format($originalPathSize, 3).'MB');
    $this->info('Compressed size:'.number_format($compressedPathSize, 3).'MB');
    $this->info('Improvement: '.number_format($compressedPathSizeDiff, 3).'MB ('.number_format($compressedPathSizeDiffPercent, 3).'%)');
    $this->info('Total time: '.$timeFormatted);
    // ...
    $this->table($headers, $rows);
    $this->info('Ready!');
}

It works like a charm.

The problem is that now I need to run this command in a production server (via SSH) and it must take some hours to process all files. Obviously I don't want to stay logged in during this period to see console output.

As scheduling tasks does, there is some way to write "automatically" the console command output to log files?

Answer 1

You can use the screen linux command. Screen Example

and you can save the output like

#screen
#php artisan command > /etc/commandResults.log

Answer 2

To write output to your logs from artisan commands you can simply call $this->info() :

$this->info('some text');

EDIT:

My bad! Sorry!

Log::info() is what you want.
