I have a requirement in my app's admin panel to show if the schedule:work is running properly. I've created my own "status page" that checks if each command is executed successfully.
Now, I need to know if the schedule:work command is running or not, and my team has currently proposed using websockets to find out in real time.
It feels like "the juice isn't worth the squeeze" to use websockets to find this out, so exploring if there is an alternative to this
(I'm on a shared hosting unfortunately. So I can't use supervisord and make the script auto-restart)

Avoid shared hosting is the answer, schedule:work likely isn't stable for prod
you'd probably struggle to find out if the process is even running due to sandboxing
glad coral
Yeah in a cron

running schedule:run every minute in a cron https://laravel.com/docs/11.x/scheduling#running-the-scheduler
your schedule command should take less than a minute

Okay. If I understand correctly, the schedule command taking less than a minute to execute is key here
glad coral
Yeah, anything long-running should be dispatched to queues

Got it.

if it's a command then you can use ->runInBackground()

I've added.

->withoutOverlapping()
->runInBackground();
