Give it the cron directly
$schedule->command('b2buhrenApi:productSync')->cron('*/7 * * * *');

How to run schedule every 7 minutes.
my current schedule runs everyFiveMinutes .
$schedule->command('b2buhrenApi:productSync')->everyFiveMinutes();
Level 55
just 1 note here: it will run the task at *:56 minutes, and next one will be at :00 (4 minutes instead of 7), because 7 is not a divisor of 60.

@SilenceBringer so how to i run every 7 minutes?

@ga46 Either live with the fact that it "restarts" every hour. Or have it run every minute and use a truth contraint to check if the timestamp is what you want: https://laravel.com/docs/9.x/scheduling#truth-test-constraints

you can use
->cron('* * * * *');

As others have pointed out, there is no direct way to do that in the scheduler.
If the 7 minute interval is vital, then you would have to have some sort of indication for your code to know when the scheduled job was last started - so basically a db field like last_run_at. Then run the scheduler every minute and check if it's been 7 minutes or more.
But what is the use case? There are possibly other and better ways to achieve what you're trying to achieve. :-)

You can run your command every minute, and just check the elapsed time since last execution. If it's less than 7 minutes, you skip. If it's more, you run it.
$lastSynced = Cache::get('last_synced_at');
if ($lastSynced && $lastSynced->diffInMinutes() < 7) {
// Skip... It's not time yet.
return;
}
Cache::put('last_synced_at', now());
// Your code...

@sinnbeck has the right idea. This should do it
$schedule->command('b2buhrenApi:productSync')
->when(intval(time()/60) % 7 ==0);
should run on every 7th minute since unix epoch
