What is this?

This package allows laravel to run a laravel command in the background

Getting Started

To get started, require the package with composer require shifft/background and publish the configfile with php artisan vendor:publish --tag=config

Please modify the config/background.php to match your configuration.

Usage

Have the following code at the top of your file

use Shifft\Background\Background;

And use it as such:

Background::runInBackround('list', 'listPid');//run the artisan list command with the process id(pid) listPid. The pid can be anything you want
Background::isRunning('listPid');//check if the process with the pid listPid is still running

To cleanup the pid files the commando background:cleanup was made and should be scheduled by putting the following lines in the Console Kernel schedule command.

$schedule->command('background:cleanup')
		 ->dailyAt('0:00');
