Bad command errors in crontab file, can't install

Are you sure you are using * ? Can you post the string as code using ``` on the line before it?

* * * * * php /home/bitcwlbc/public_html/myproject/artisan schedule:run >> /dev/null 2>&1

Yes..

"* * * * * php /home/bitcwlbc/public_html/myproject/artisan schedule:run >> /dev/null 2>&1"

not sure why system keep changing here.

You dont use ``` like I said. https://help.github.com/en/github/writing-on-github/creating-and-highlighting-code-blocks

Anyways. How do you start crontab? Using commandline or is it on some controlpanel?

Through controlpanel

this is exactly how my code looks like without " . i only use it because it keep changing the * when i try to post here

My bet is that they set the * * * * * already. Just add this

php /home/bitcwlbc/public_html/myproject/artisan schedule:run >> /dev/null 2>&1

Commad added with no error will see if that works as i need 24 hours to confirm.

Fingers crossed :)

Thanks for your help and time

Not working friend, i run the cronjob manuelly and it works. Am not sure if its my hosting that is casuing this as they did not allow me to run the cronjob per mins which how the scripts is configured to work. I set to per 5 mins, could that be the reason why its not working?

Also is there anyway otherway i can set the cronjob with using crontab?

Yes make sure that it runs every minute. This is very vital

Anyway i can set cronjob to run automatically through commandline without having to manually run?

If you want to set up a cronjob using command line you can run crontab -e

Paste the full code in there

You can run it at 5 minute intervals if you ensure that

a) you don't have any tasks that need to run more frequently than 5 minutes

b) you only set tasks that run at 5 minute boundaries
