I have 2 commands in my Laravel 7 Schelduler
$schedule->command('inspire')->everyMinute()->emailOutputTo(env('MAIL_TO'));
$schedule->exec('whoami')->everyMinute();
✅ The first one works perfectly, I get the email
❌ This second one doesn't work at all
$schedule->exec('whoami')->everyMinute();
I followed: https://laravel.com/docs/7.x/scheduling
My guess is that whoami runs fine but nothing is done with the output.
Can you try to add emailOutputTo(env('MAIL_TO')); to the second command to see if you get an email with the output ?
Please check the documentation about outputting the result from exec: https://laravel.com/docs/7.x/scheduling#task-output
emailOutputTo() on my second line, you're correct !$schedule->exec('history')->everyMinute()->emailOutputTo(env('MAIL_TO')); it never works : i.imgur.com/PMbvkkw.pngdate & whoami commands works
$schedule->command instead of $schedule->execas @Clément Bisaillon suggests, you have forgotten to add method for shell command output.
but your comment has been Raised a new Question.
whoiam and date, but not working with history ?This Works:
$schedule->exec('cat /home/abilogos/.bash_history ')->everyMinute()->appendOutputTo('/home/abilogos/Desktop/testHist.txt');
you can find history file in with echo $HISTFILE
BUT WHY?
it gets even more interesting when you just which history to find history path and it tells you there
which: no history in Your Path
like source command.
because they are not Programs stored in $PATH locations. they are bash`s command
http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/bionic/man7/bash-builtins.7.html
and laravel uses php @proc_open (Symfony\Component\Process\Process) which just execute Programs not Bash commands :
I created this
<?php
namespace App\Console\Commands;
use Illuminate\Console\Command;
class exec extends Command
{
/**
* The name and signature of the console command.
*
* @var string
*/
protected $signature = 'exec {cmd}';
/**
* The console command description.
*
* @var string
*/
protected $description = 'Run any command(s)';
/**
* Create a new command instance.
*
* @return void
*/
public function __construct()
{
parent::__construct();
}
/**
* Execute the console command.
*
* @return mixed
*/
public function handle()
{
$cmd = $this->argument('cmd');
$this->info(shell_exec($cmd));
}
}
and use it like this
$schedule->command('exec date')->everyMinute()->emailOutputTo(env('MAIL_TO'));
$schedule->command('exec history')->everyMinute()->emailOutputTo(env('MAIL_TO'));
It works !!
