Setting up CRON JOB in cPanel

Hi guys,

I'm having a problem adjusting all the parameters in cPanel's cron jobs. I have a job inside a app/Console/Commands/MyJob.php, a class that extends Command class and has implemented handle function for firing some emailing functionality.

I'm trying to figure out how to adjust a path (I'm quite certain this is an issue), when looking at documentation (https://laravel.com/docs/5.1/artisan) and reading through stackoverflow it seems that I need to run a artisan command. What is not clear is the "path/to/artisan". What is this path??

What I've tried so far:

/usr/bin/php -q home/username/public_html/mysite.si/project/artisan command:sendEmails schedule:run 1>> /dev/null 2>&1
cd /home/username/public_html/ && /usr/local/bin/php artisan sendEmails

I'm kinda shooting in the dark here so any help would be appreciated.

Sincerely, Jan

If you have SSH access, cd into your Laravel directory and use the pwd command to find the current path. Also, in the left hand column of cPanel, it lists the "Home Directory". That is the main directory before public_html.

I use this in cPanel:

php -d register_argc_argv=On /home/dawiyo/laravel-site-dir/artisan schedule:run > /dev/null 2>&1

@dawiyo, I don't have ssh, its a shared hosting and provider does not allow it.

I will try your solution, in the meantime I solved my problem by exposing command via direct url and calling "wget command_url".

Hey @Slak, I am facing a similar problem here. Could you please help me by giving out your exact cron command?!
