CRON JOB - LARAVEL - OUTPUT

Question

Hi I'm running CRON JOB with Laravel

Function declaration in Laravel

protected function schedule(Schedule $schedule)
{
    echo "test CRON JOB\n";
    $file1 = '1.log';
    $file2 = '2.log';
    $schedule->command('command1')->sendOutputTo($file1);
    $schedule->command('command2')->sendOutputTo($file2);

}

CRON JOB - Setting

pathToArtisan schedule:run 2>&1 >> /home/log/cron_output.log

Log file output (cron_output.log)

test CRON JOB
Running scheduled command: '/opt/alt/php55/usr/bin/php' 'artisan'command1 > '1.log' 2>&1 &
Running scheduled command: '/opt/alt/php55/usr/bin/php' 'artisan' command2 > '2.log' 2>&1 &

The echo in the function schedule is displayed but the ones inside my command 1 and command 2 are not.

I tried

echo "test"; $this->info('test');

No files 1.log or 2.log where created neither /home/log/ or where the Kernel.php file is or Command folder

Any ideas ?

Thank you

You should use the built-in task output method in Laravel.

For example:

$file = 'command1_output.log';
$schedule->command('command1')
         ->sendOutputTo($file);
