How to set up Laravel schedule job on Monday and Wednesday

Question

How to schedule the job which needs to be run on custom days in Laravel.

eg) Monday and Wednesday only.

Wondering will it work or not?

 $schedule->command('report:sendEmail')->timezone('America/New_York')->weekdays()->mondays()->wednesdays()->dailyAt('21:30'); 

Answer 1

What about this one.

 $schedule->command('report:sendEmail')->timezone('America/New_York')->cron('30 21 * * 1,3');

Above is the command to run your job at every Monday and Wednesday at 9:30 PM.

Below is the format of cron job

# Use the hash sign to prefix a comment
# +---------------- minute (0 - 59)
# |  +------------- hour (0 - 23)
# |  |  +---------- day of month (1 - 31)
# |  |  |  +------- month (1 - 12)
# |  |  |  |  +---- day of week (0 - 7) (Sunday=0 or 7)
# |  |  |  |  |
# *  *  *  *  *  command to be executed
#--------------------------------------------------------------------------
