README

This bundle lets you schedule commands using the unix at command.

Installation

Open a command console, enter your project directory and execute the following command to download the latest stable version of this bundle:

composer require carles/scheduled-command-bundle

This command requires you to have Composer installed globally, as explained in the installation chapter of the Composer documentation.

Usage

To schedule a command simply configure a ScheduledCommand and persist it:

use CommandSchedulerBundle\Entity\ScheduledCommand;

$scheduledCommand = new ScheduledCommand();

$scheduledCommand->setCommand("echo 'Happy New Year'");
$scheduledCommand->setDatetime(new \DateTime('01-01-2020 00:00:00'));

$this->getDoctrine()->getManager()->persist($scheduledCommand);
$this->getDoctrine()->getManager()->flush();

The bundle uses doctrine events to create an at job with the configured command. The command will be stored in a file under the configured directory.
The default directory is /tmp, but feel free to change it in the configuration:

scheduled_command:
    temp_command_files_dir: /my/directory

At the moment this bundle is only working in unix environments where the at command is installed, but it would be nice to add Windows compatibility in the future.
