Cron job is not working when specify time

Question

I have a Laravel project v8 and I have created a cron job for DB backup

It's working every minute but it is not working when I specify the time for daily.

Project timezone is 'Asia/Kolkata' and my GoDaddy shared server timezone is UTC.

kernel.php

<?php

namespace App\Console;

use Illuminate\Console\Scheduling\Schedule;
use Illuminate\Foundation\Console\Kernel as ConsoleKernel;

class Kernel extends ConsoleKernel
{
    /**
     * Define the application's command schedule.
     *
     * @param  \Illuminate\Console\Scheduling\Schedule  $schedule
     * @return void
     */
    protected function schedule(Schedule $schedule)
    {
        // $schedule->command('backup:clean')->everyMinute();
        $schedule->command('backup:run')->cron('51 3 * * *');
    }

    /**
     * Register the commands for the application.
     *
     * @return void
     */
    protected function commands()
    {
        $this->load(__DIR__.'/Commands');

        require base_path('routes/console.php');
    }
}

my cronjob on Cpanel.

Answer 1

You can run cron like this:

protected function schedule(Schedule $schedule)
{
     $schedule->command('backup:run')->dailyAt('03:51');
}

Answer 2

Replace your kernel.php

<?php

namespace App\Console;

use Illuminate\Console\Scheduling\Schedule;
use Illuminate\Foundation\Console\Kernel as ConsoleKernel;

class Kernel extends ConsoleKernel
{
    /**
     * Define the application's command schedule.
     *
     * @param  \Illuminate\Console\Scheduling\Schedule  $schedule
     * @return void
     */
    protected function schedule(Schedule $schedule)
    {
        $schedule->command('backup:clean')->everyMinute();
    }

    /**
     * Register the commands for the application.
     *
     * @return void
     */
    protected function commands()
    {
        $this->load(__DIR__.'/Commands');

        require base_path('routes/console.php');
    }
}

And after this set cronjob on Cpanel with the time on which you want to execute

Check that the given time in cpanel the cron will work definitely
