Clear mutex Cache entry for specific scheduled task

The other day we had a task scheduled without overlap get stuck. The solution was to use php artisan cache:clear, but this produced side effects because it cleared cache for the entire application.

Is there a way to clear ONLY the mutex entry for a specific schedule task?

You could delete the Mutex file from the storage/framework folder:

storage/framework/schedule-hashedname

The hard part is identifying which file to delete, since the "hashedname" part is a sha1() of the string that results from concatenating the crontab expression and command name:

sha1($this->expression.$this->command)
