Task scheduling in laravel forge

I've hosted my app in Digital Ocean with Laravel Forge and have created a artisan command to run through schedule [Nightly].

The artisan command runs smoothly via terminal but returns No such file or directory while running it through Scheduled Jobs from Laravel Forge.

The command for the job is:

php /home/forge/sitename.com/artisan Instagram:fetch

The artisan command php /home/forge/sitename.com/artisan Inspire i.e php artisan inspire returns the correct output while the above mentioned custom artisan returns No such file or directory

Hi,

To use you command you need to first register your command in app/Console/Kernel.php

 protected $commands = [
        \App\Console\Commands\Instagram::class,
    ];

also the name of artisan command should not start from capital letter I think Instagram:fetch

then in your scheduler:

protected function schedule(Schedule $schedule)
    {
        $schedule->command('instagram:fetch')->timezone('Europe/Dublin')->daily();
    }

Then you need to start at least one artisan worker on your forge machine

and also might be good idea to add this to your deployment script:

php artisan queue:restart

to make sure workers are working off you latest deployed code.
