Laravel Crons on Elastic Beanstalk Linux AMI 2

I am running a Laravel app on Elastic Beanstalk Linux AMI 2.

I am using the following config file in the .ebextensions folder to set up the cron.

files:
"/etc/cron.d/schedule_run":
mode: "000644"
owner: root
group: root
content: |
  * * * * * root . /opt/elasticbeanstalk/deployment/env && /usr/bin/php /var/www/html/php artisan schedule:run 1>> /var/laralog.log 2>&1

commands:
remove_old_cron:
command: "rm -f /etc/cron.d/*.bak"

After deploying, it does not seem at all like the scheduling engine is running on the test instance. I set up a cron to write to my DB every 2 minutes and nothing is happening. Has something changed and now this code will no longer start the Laravel scheduler?

Have you try to write the command in script and run the script. Sometime `cron` do not "like:/"handle" well `&&` in command

Put this: `. /opt/elasticbeanstalk/deployment/env && /usr/bin/php /var/www/html/php artisan schedule:run 1>> /var/laralog.log 2>&1` in file (in `root` home directory, Exec `chmod 700 <fillename>` and make record with time to be: `* * * * * root /path/to/your/script`

I do not get it. What I propose do not change the logic.

It can be any extension, in UNIX/Linux they are not in charge like Windows. But you can add `.sh`

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
