Also when running that exact script via Terminal (cpanel) it works 100%. But just not via Cron job command.

Laravel 5.6 Cron Job not Working on Shared Hosting
Good day,
I have a Job that I am scheduling every minute to send some mails. When I run
php artisan schedule:run
via Putty it works. But when setting up via cron job it simple does not trigger my Job.
This is my cron job command:
cd /home/user/laravel_dir && php artisan schedule:run >> /dev/null 2>&1
Please assist me. I am using HawkHost shared hosting.

Thanks @pardeepkumar but that is exactly what i did. Except I do not have a custom Artisan command. I am using the existing
php artisan schedule:run
command.

Have you asked the hosting company? Maybe you need to specify the user the cron job is running under, or provide a full path to php.

When googling the error most articles talk about the php variabel "register_argc_argv" which I have now set to ON via my .htaccess file.
Yes I talked to hosting company and they also see the same error message that I am getting in my Laravel log file.

If you don't specify the path to the PHP version you want you may end up with the wrong version. I have known hosts with multiple versions of php installed.
Your cron command should be the full path to php and the full path to your project, eg;
* * * * * /usr/bin/php /var/www/html/myproject/artisan schedule:run >> /dev/null 2>&1
