<?php

use Symfony\Component\HttpKernel\Kernel;
use Symfony\Component\Config\Loader\LoaderInterface;

class AppKernel extends Kernel
{
    public function registerBundles()
    {
        $bundles = [
            new Symfony\Bundle\FrameworkBundle\FrameworkBundle(),
            new Symfony\Bundle\SecurityBundle\SecurityBundle(),

            new CronManager\CronManager()
        ];
        ...

3. Update your database

php bin/console doctrine:schema:update --force

####This Package is based on mtdowling/cron-expression Cron Expression Parser

Creating a Cron Task

1. Create a Symfony Command like described here http://symfony.com/doc/master/components/console.html

2. Create a new database entry into cm_cron with fields:

   • name: crontask name
   • expression: cron expression - read more on https://packagist.org/packages/mtdowling/cron-expression
   • command: symfony console command fx. appbund:test
   • arguments: arguments passed to the console command
   • active: 1 for active cron - 0 for inactive

   leave the rest of the fields blank

Cron Manager Execution

php bin/console cm:run --interval=600 --processCheck=1

####Options

• --interval: Your Linux Cron execution interval - default execution interval is 600 seconds
• --processCheck: When enabled it checks process id to avoid overlapping executions
