Running artisan commands sequentially

either update your cron job so that it's something like this:

php artisan [command 1]; php artisan [command 2]

or drop it all into a bash script, and then call that script with cron:

something like scheduled_artisand_commands.sh:

#!/bin/bash

cd /path/to/project/root
php artisan your_first_command
php artisan your_second_command

chmod that +x so it's executable then update your crontab to execute that script at the desired time.

Easy peasy.

Maby you can create 1 command that handles all other commands.

You can use Artisan::call('command:name'); to call a single command from within your application

If command 1 doesn't return anything your second command May fire before the first one is up. Either call the second coo mad after the first in your first command or return true false for the first that will allow the second to run when true.

yes, but how can I return thatr a command has ended? An after that what do I do? A while loop to see if the first one has ended?

@willvincent : will one command be executed only after the previous has been completed?

@Terumi Unless your artisan command exits prematurely, yes.

Basically the same idea as this, for example:

git clone git@github.com:laravel/framework.git; cd framework; ls

Obviously you couldn't cd into the directory before it's created and the repo cloned there.. that example would clone the laravel framework repo, cd into it, and then run an ls to display the contents.. same idea, really.
