In the documentation, the manual panel installation requires that you set up a cron job with the following command:
* * * * * cd /patch/to/gameap && php artisan schedule:run >> /dev/null 2>&1
The other panel installation instructions make no mention of this. Is the cron job required? Also, I'm a little confused by its purpose. What exactly is it doing?
My reason for asking about this is because I'm installing the panel on a Windows Server 2016 system with IIS, and I'm trying to adapt the instructions which were written for non-Windows systems to my own. So far I have everything else working. Any help on this subject is appreciated! :)
