How to create cron job in Magento 2?

Cron job is one type of feature in magento 2. The cron job will create a command or a script that is appropriate with the task you want to do. Instead of manual working, the cronjob allows running automatically at time and we can perform some code based on cron job

Module name : Magemonkeys_Magecron

for we can create crontab.xml in moduleapp/code/Magemonkeys/Magecron/etc/crontab.xml

<?xml version="1.0" ?>
<config xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="urn:magento:module:Magento_Cron:etc/crontab.xsd">
	<group id="default">
		<job instance="Magemonkeys\Magecron\Cron\Mycron" method="execute" name="magemonkeys_cron_mycron">
			<schedule>* * * * *</schedule>
		</job>
	</group>
</config>

<?xml version="1.0" ?>

</job>

</group>

</config>

also here we have explain schedule start based an above code

and create Mycron.php file in module with relevant location app/code/Magemonkeys/Magecron/Cron/Mycron.php

<?php
namespace Magemonkeys\Magecron\Cron;
class Mycron
{
    public function execute()
    {
	$writer = new \Zend\Log\Writer\Stream(BP . '/var/log/mycron.log');
	$logger = new \Zend\Log\Logger();
	$logger->addWriter($writer);
	$logger->info(__METHOD__);
	return $this;
    }
}

<?php

namespace Magemonkeys\Magecron\Cron;

class Mycron

{

public function execute()

{

$writer = new \Zend\Log\Writer\Stream(BP . '/var/log/mycron.log');

$logger = new \Zend\Log\Logger();

$logger->addWriter($writer);

$logger->info(__METHOD__);

return $this;

}
