artisan command?

[scotticles]

Is it possible to move the run() into a command instead of using a route? Then just fire that on the cronjob using php artisan command instead of using wget?

I haven't installed this yet to try.

Thanks.

I think this works, but I haven't try it. I will test this and give you a reply.

I created a new command, added Cron::add and one Cron::run methods and called this command from console - seems to work fine.

I think it would be great if the package would offer an artisan command out of the box. Many site creators will probably want to simply configure crontab instead of having to setup a third party service.

What is the use of the whished artisan command? Should it configure crontab or should it be a dummy command to use from command line?

I was thinking of something along the lines of php artisan cron:run. I explained it a bit more in detail here: #20
By the way that proposal also opens the door to something like php artisan cron:list which could display all cron tasks.
