Cron Job on Live server

There could be a few reasons why the cron job is not working on the live server. Here are a few things to check:

1. Make sure the path to the PHP binary is correct. On some servers, it may be located at /usr/bin/php instead of /usr/local/bin/php. You can check the correct path by running which php in the terminal.

2. Check the permissions of the Multi_Vendor_invoice file. Make sure it is executable by running chmod +x /home/bigeweb/Multi_Vendor_invoice.

3. Check the output of the cron job by redirecting the output to a file instead of /dev/null. For example, you can change the cron job command to:

   /usr/local/bin/php /home/bigeweb/Multi_Vendor_invoice && php artisan schedule:run >> /home/bigeweb/cron.log 2>&1
   

   This will redirect the output to a file called cron.log in the home directory of the bigeweb user. You can then check the contents of this file to see if there are any errors.

4. Make sure the Laravel scheduler is set up correctly. Check that the schedule:run command is working by running it manually in the terminal:

   php artisan schedule:run
   

   This should trigger any scheduled tasks that are due to run.

5. Check that the email sending code is working correctly. You can test this by running the custom command manually in the terminal:

   /usr/local/bin/php /home/bigeweb/Multi_Vendor_invoice
   

   This should send the emails to the registered accounts.

Once you have checked these things, you should be able to identify the issue and fix the cron job.
