Run every X minutes #75

Closed dhaarbrink closed 5 years ago

dhaarbrink commented 5 years ago

There are some jobs I would like to schedule every x minutes. I figured I could do it with ->everyMinute(5) or maybe ->hourly('*/5') but both aren't supported.

The latter could work if validateCronRange() is fixed to support it.

For now I use this workaround: ->at('*/5 * * * *'). But it is ugly, and kind of defeats the purpose of using an interface for scheduling.

I would think this is a common enough usage to be supported by the interface.

->everyMinute(5) is a more elegant syntax rather than:

$runtime = array(0, 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, 45, 50, 55); foreach ($runtime as $timer) { $scheduler->php('/path/to/the/job/php')->hourly($timer); }

I used $object->at('42 ') to run cron job after every 42 minutes. But when the cron job is run, it is run more than one time.

For example. A cron job is scheduled at every 42 minutes. When the time came, the cron job runs at the exact time but also multiples time.

Any help would be appreciated.
