Registered Command cant connect to mysql

Im racking my brain here. I have registered a command called sendbookings;

<?php

namespace App\Console\Commands;

use Illuminate\Console\Command;
use App\Booking;
use Mail;
use DB;

class sendBookings extends Command
{
    /**
     * The name and signature of the console command.
     *
     * @var string
     */
    protected $signature = 'sendBookings';

    /**
     * The console command description.
     *
     * @var string
     */
    protected $description = 'Email daily bookings';

    /**
     * Create a new command instance.
     *
     * @return void
     */
    public function __construct()
    {
        parent::__construct();
    }

    /**
     * Execute the console command.
     *
     * @return mixed
     */
    public function handle()
    {
        $data['customerBooked'] = Booking::where('updated_at', '>=', DB::raw('(NOW() - INTERVAL 1 Day)'))
            ->where('type', 'Customer Booked')
            ->where('status', 'Complete')->get();
        $data['modified'] = Booking::where('status', '!=' , 'Available')
        ->where('updated_at', '>=', DB::raw('(NOW() - INTERVAL 1 Day)'))->get();

        Mail::send('emails.bookingsEmail', $data, function ($message) {
                $message->to('emailad', 'Website');
                $message->replyTo('replyto');
                $message->from('noreply@mg.com');
                $message->subject('Last 24 Hours Bookings');
            });
    }
}

I registered my command in the kernel.php

<?php

namespace App\Console;

use Illuminate\Console\Scheduling\Schedule;
use Illuminate\Foundation\Console\Kernel as ConsoleKernel;

class Kernel extends ConsoleKernel
{
    /**
     * The Artisan commands provided by your application.
     *
     * @var array
     */
    protected $commands = [
        \App\Console\Commands\Inspire::class,
        \App\Console\Commands\sendBookings::class,
    ];

    /**
     * Define the application's command schedule.
     *
     * @param  \Illuminate\Console\Scheduling\Schedule  $schedule
     * @return void
     */
    protected function schedule(Schedule $schedule)
    {
        $schedule->command('inspire')
                 ->hourly();
    }
}

When i run the command in temrinal I recieve the error: [PDOException]
SQLSTATE[HY000] [2002] No such file or directory

Why would the command not be able to connect to mysql?
