Jobs usage

Jobs are an optional component, see booking and scaling jobs. After booking a new settings page will become available with the environment in the dashboard. Here you can add, remove, start, stop and edit jobs.

# Job settings

• Status: active/disabled
• Job name: A unique name, identifier
• Command: The command to run, see below
• Job type: Cron or worker
• Exit signal: Graceful shutdown - default is usually fine
• Exit timeout: Time to forceful kill when graceful shutdown is not responding

When choosing the type cron these additional settings become available:

• Interval: How and when the job should run, see crontab help
• Max runtime: How long the job is allowed to run

# Command settings

You need to call a command or script via the runtime. To call a PHP task you need to prefix it with php. To call a shell script you need to prefix it with bash:

• php artisan queue:listen -v
• bash path/to/my-script.sh

# Job types

• Workers: Non-stop running in the background, event driven triggers
• Crons: Scheduled at certain times
