Cron jobs are time-based tasks that run automatically at specified intervals on a Unix-based system. Laravel’s Task Scheduler allows you to define and manage these cron jobs using expressive syntax and commands.
protected function schedule(Schedule $schedule)
{
$schedule->command('custom:task')->dailyAt('00:00');
}
php artisan make:command CustomTask
app/Console/Commands/
CustomTask.php
public function handle() { // Your task logic here // This could be sending emails, generating reports, etc. $this->info('Custom task executed successfully!'); }
php artisan custom:task
