Cannot get Laracast example to fire MAC OSX Mavricks

[jimmck]

Hi,

I create the cron command file and start crontab. But it never fires. If I enter the command manually, it works. When do crontab -l it shows the job????

• * * * * php /Users/jimm/WebProjects/laravel42/artisan scheduled:run 1>> /dev/null 2>&1

Did you add this command via sudo crontab -e ?

When you say it's not firing, how are you verifying it's not firing? It may be an issue with the command you're trying to schedule.

@jimmck I has same problem with you. The command works when I run it in terminal but crontab not fires. Please help me.

[bkuhl]

Which crontab did you add it to? The root crontab or a specific user's crontab?

[phuclh]

I create a cron.txt in my folder project and using crontab cron.txt command

[bkuhl]

Which user are you running that command as? Can you also provide the contents of the cron.txt?

[phuclh]

This is my cron.txt file:

* * * * * php /Users/mac/Code/myproject/artisan scheduled:run 1>> /dev/null 2>&1

@phuclh Which crontab did you setup that cron on? If it's on the root crontab then that cron command is invalid and will not run. It's on the root crontab if you added while either....

1. Being logged in as root
2. used sudo crontab or some other sudo to edit/install the cron

[phuclh]

I edit my cron.txt file like:
SHELL=/bin/bash
PATH=/Applications/:/Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/bin/:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/usr/local/bin

• * * * * php /Users/mac/Code/myproject/artisan scheduled:run 1>> /dev/null 2>&1

And It fired :D.

Thank you very much @jimmck @bkuhl
