yes i did but i set a cron schedule and it dont work like a im expected my project is a laravel api, i already set the schedule task and y set de cron job on railway
fervent reef
cron jobs on railway need to run and then exit as soon as possible, otherwise they just simply aren't cron jobs
shut idol
I don't know what you mean, in Laravel to execute the jobs you need to execute the following command php artisan schedule:run
fervent reef
that's a long running task, you cant use railway cron for that, you'd just have that running as a regular service
shut idol
Ok, how can I execute the command automatically?
fervent reef
as mentioned, in a separate railway service
shut idol
o saw a templete https://blog.railway.app/p/cron-jobs
is this the service tath you mentioned
fervent reef
that has absolutely nothing to do with anything I've been saying though?
you need to run php artisan schedule:run in a separate railway service, nothing at all to do with cron
shut idol
ok but how?
fervent reef
create a new service in the project, set any needed service variables, set the start command, attach your github repo
shut idol
ok perfect but how it execute the comand automatically
fervent reef
it's ran when the service starts
shut idol
i now but it need to restart when i need to execute, will the cron job restar automatically the service ?
fervent reef
again, cron has nothing to do with this, it's its own scheduler, I recommend you read the docs on what that command does
shut idol
ok now I know how it works thanks for the help and sorry for the inconvenience
