{
$schedule->command('example:command')->everyTwoMinutes();

Can you show this example:command command ?

Your crontab looks incorrect. It needs 5 "star" attributes: for minute, hour, day of month, month, day of week - separated by at least 1 space. Example taken from Laravel documentation for Task Scheduling:
* * * * * cd /path-to-your-project && php artisan schedule:run >> /dev/null 2>&1
This cronjob runs every minute.
If you want cron to run your command for instance every 5 minutes, it should look like this:
*/5 * * * * cd /home/earleffv/myapp-laravel1 && php artisan schedule:run >> /dev/null 2>&1
Various version can be tried here: https://crontab.guru/

Yeah it has spaces between them, i just typed it incorrectly here
Nevertheless, it's emailing the output as artisan list as if i typed 'php artisan' or 'php artisan list' at the terminal
it's freaking frustrating
a useful info: am trying to run it at a shared hosting, the shared hosting allows cron jobs

try adding register_argc_argv = On to your php.ini
it solved it for me, without it cron did not pass the schedule:run as an argument and run only the php artisan part

Hi @v2n , I did solve it but I forgot how, I think the problem was because I was testing on shared hosting... when I moved the project to the actual server it worked
And it's just my curiosity , but how did you end up with the same issue?

@V2n This solved my problem. Thanks! 🤩

How is it 'emailing out'
Please paste the actual cron details, not your recollection of them

I fixed this by specifying the path to PHP instead of using just php.
cd /home/path_to_website && /usr/local/bin/php artisan schedule:run

Hi all,
If you are using cPanel and multiple PHP versions on your server, you can target what version will be used to execute artisan command. This is something I had on my hosting provider.
Here is how to target PHP 8.2 which works for Laravel 10.x
* * * * * cd /home/myaccountname/mydomain.com && /opt/cpanel/ea-php82/root/usr/bin/php artisan schedule:run >/dev/null 2>&1
Using /usr/local/bin/php OR /usr/bin/php it will target default PHP version, but this could be PHP 8.0 or lower and it would not work.
