The ScheduleBundle

Schedule Cron jobs (commands/callbacks/bash scripts) within your Symfony application. Most applications have jobs that need to run at specific intervals. This bundle enables you to define these jobs in your code. Job definitions (tasks) are version controlled like any other feature of your application. A single Cron entry (php bin/console schedule:run) on your server running every minute executes due tasks.

The inspiration and some of the API/code for this Bundle comes from Laravel's Task Scheduling feature.

Installation

composer require zenstruck/schedule-bundle

If not using Symfony Flex, be sure to enable the bundle.

Quick Start

1. Add your schedule service (assumes autowire and autoconfiguration enabled):

   // src/Schedule/AppScheduleBuilder.php
   
   namespace App\Schedule;
   
   use Zenstruck\ScheduleBundle\Schedule;
   use Zenstruck\ScheduleBundle\Schedule\ScheduleBuilder;
   
   class AppScheduleBuilder implements ScheduleBuilder
   {
       public function buildSchedule(Schedule $schedule): void
       {
           $schedule
               ->timezone('UTC')
               ->environments('prod')
           ;
   
           $schedule->addCommand('app:send-weekly-report --detailed')
               ->description('Send the weekly report to users.')
               ->sundays()
               ->at(1)
           ;
   
           // ...
       }
   }

2. List your tasks to diagnose any problems:

   php bin/console schedule:list

3. Add the following Cron job on your server running every minute:

   * * * * * cd /path-to-your-project && php bin/console schedule:run >> /dev/null 2>&1
   

See Defining the Schedule and Defining Tasks for more options.
