Laravel Scheduler runs twice daily at certain hours

Question

How can I run the Laravel scheduler twice a day at certain hours? Say I want my team to run every day at 9am and 5pm

It is possible to use twoDaily, but I'm not sure how to specify the clock

Answer 1

You can use the cron manual expression:

$schedule->command('foo')->cron('0 9,17 * * *');

If you are not familiar with cron expressions, here is a good GUI: http://cron.nmonitoring.com/cron-generator.html

Answer 2

If you want to use the Schedulable method, it will look like this:

return $scheduler->twiceDaily(9, 17);
