How do I start cron job on the server?
I have set up a cron job that calls a method on the controller every five minutes. However, it is not running. So I thought maybe there is a way of kicking off cron jobs after setting up application on the server. Any help?
$schedule->call('App\Http\Controllers\ProController@process')->everyFiveMinutes();

the last part is what you need.

No, I havent done that

yea so /etc/crontab is the kick off you are looking for, it will run every minute 24/7 after which, your $schedule->... will execute ProController@process every 5 minutes.

There is Cron jobs under Advanced in cPanel.
Basically the same thing, just make sure it is all * for every minute 24/7:

yes, just run the schedule, but don't try using it to hit a controller.A lot won't work properly.
Its better to write a command that does whatever you need to do.
