Please follow the this tutorial if you wish to start the cron job program
magento cron:run [–group=”<cron group name>”]
Now, We will add a custom cron in HelloWorld module.
File: app/code/Magemonkeys/HelloWorld/etc/crontab.xml
Content would be
|
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 |
<?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\HelloWorld\Cron\Test" method="execute" name="magemonkeys_helloworld_cron"> <schedule>* * * * *</schedule> </job> </group> </config> |
|
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 |
* * * * * command to be executed | | | | | | | | | +----- Day of week (0 - 7) (Sunday=0 or 7) | | | +------- Month (1 - 12) | | +--------- Day of month (1 - 31) | +----------- Hour (0 - 23) +------------- Minute (0 - 59) |
In crontab.xml, we have defined job
instance can be Magemonkeys\HelloWorld\Cron\Test.
Create Test.php
File: app/code/Magemonkeys/HelloWorld/Cron/Test.php
Content would be:
|
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 |
<?php namespace Magemonkeys\HelloWorld\Cron; class Test { public function execute() { $writer = new \Zend\Log\Writer\Stream(BP . '/var/log/cron.log'); $logger = new \Zend\Log\Logger(); $logger->addWriter($writer); $logger->info(__METHOD__); return $this; } } |
All done, please flush cache and run magento cron:run –group=”default” from the command line.
To check whether the Cron is working properly, go to var/log/cron.log of your store, and you will see the text Magemonkeys\HelloWorld\Cron\Test::execute in it.
