laravel cannot run scheduled command, while queue:listen run schedule() periodically

Question

Note: My question has nothing to do with Command schedule in Laravel which schedule not work. But in my question the scheduling works, but it cannot call the artisan command.

I use laravel scheduling artisan command. I run the command directly from the console like this sudo -u www-data /var/www/market/artisan command:printer-serving 281H28 .

I know it works because, I've Log::info('Working') at the entry of the handle() function of the command.

While when I use laravel's scheduling. And the cron works well, for below Log::info('command:printer-serving 281H28'); output the content to the console continuously.

But the artisan command not executed, it output nothing to the console, and not write something to the DB

In the Kernel.php

<?php namespace App\Console;

use Illuminate\Console\Scheduling\Schedule;
use Illuminate\Foundation\Console\Kernel as ConsoleKernel;
use Log;

class Kernel extends ConsoleKernel {

    /**
     * The Artisan commands provided by your application.
     *
     * @var array
     */
    protected $commands = [
        'App\Console\Commands\Inspire',
        'App\Console\Commands\CommandPrinterServing',
    ];

    /**
     * Define the application's command schedule.
     *
     * @param  \Illuminate\Console\Scheduling\Schedule  $schedule
     * @return void
     */
    protected function schedule(Schedule $schedule)
    {
        $schedule->command('inspire')->hourly();
        Log::info('command:printer-serving 281H28');
        $schedule->command('command:printer-serving --force 281H28')->everyMinute();
        //$schedule->command('printer-serving')->everyMinute();
        //$schedule->command(CommandPrinterServing::class, ['281H28'])->everyMinute();
    }

}

Command name, protected $signature = 'command:printer-serving {pid}';

Note No matter what string even not a command I put in $schedule->command() function, nothing will changes and not a error reported from the cron log or laravel log.

I want to know how to debug the $schedule->command() function.

Cron file vi /etc/cron.minutely/printer-task-minute

#!/bin/sh
cd /var/www/market
sudo -u www-data ./artisan command:regen-htaccess
#sudo -u www-data ./artisan schedule:run >> /dev/null 2>&1
sudo -u www-data ./artisan schedule:run

The weired thing is log output four thmes every 3 seconds.

I'm puzzled about the log frequency, so I stop cron and beanstalkd. But the log output doesn't stop. Even I stop apache2, the log keeping output. Then I check the php process, and find there are four queue:listen --queue=xxxx --env=worker_env --delay=3 in the output of command ps aux | grep php ps aux | grep php . Here I found why the log output in that frequency, but I don't know why queue:listen execute the schedule() function as this question Understanding Queues and Scheduler on Laravel 5.2 .

Each time I executed a artisan command sudo -u www-data /var/www/market/artisan xxxxx the schedule() function will be called one time. And if the command is queue:listen like sudo -u www-data /var/www/market/artisan queue:listen xxxxx the schedule() function will be called periodically. But the command in the schedule() will not run, except the Log::info() . Only when run schedule:run command, both the artisan command and Log::info() in schedule() will executed.

Answer 1

我认为您应该使用以下命令

$schedule->command('printer_serving')->everyMinute()‌​;

Answer 2

It costs me a day to google the issue, read laravel docs, and run many test. Finally I make it out.

Laravel's artisan queue:listen command call the schedule() in the Kernel.php periodically, while it only run the Log::info() in the schedule() not the $schedule->command() ( Here I'm also confused ).

I've four queue running, for queue1 sudo -u www-data php artisan queue:work --queue=queue1 --env=worker_env --delay=3 --timeout=600 . Same with queue2, 3, 4. So the Log::info() in the schedule() will executed four times every 3 seconds.

Above make me thought the schedule works well. Actually, the schedule is not executed. I found /etc/cron.minutely/printer-task-minute have no x privilege, so I add the x privilege for it. And I found I didn't config the crontab file, so I add * * * * * root test -x /usr/sbin/anacron || ( cd / && run-parts --report /etc/cron.minutely ) * * * * * root test -x /usr/sbin/anacron || ( cd / && run-parts --report /etc/cron.minutely ) to /etc/crontab (I'm not familar with cron).

Solution:
Config the cron like above, or refer to the manual.
Change queue:listen to queue:work (When changed to queue:work , schedule() will not executed by queue periodically, I also don't know the reason here. ).
