php cron laravel laravel-4 jobs

I am trying to develop a cron job for a command I have already created. I am completely new to cron jobs so I dont really know how it works.

Trying the command by myself in the console works perfectly. All I need is to be able to execute it every 24 hours. I am using Laravel 4, can anyone help?

Thanks!

To create a cron job as root, edit your cron file:

[sudo] crontab -e

Add a new line at the end, every line is a cron job:

25 10 * * * php /var/www/<siteName>/artisan <command:name> <parameters>

This will execute the same command at 10:25AM everyday.

Just make sure you keep a blank line after the last one. And you also might need to use the full path of your php client:

25 10 * * * /usr/local/bin/php /var/www/<siteName>/artisan <command:name> <parameters>
