README

A simple supervisor tool that allows to run the Laravel Queue from the crontab.

Requirements

• PHP 5.6+
• Laravel 5.0+

Installing

Use Composer to install it:

composer require filippo-toso/laravel-supervisor

Using It

For a small site you just need to add the following command to your crontab (once every minute).

php artisan supervisor:run

For larger sites you may want to publish the configuration and add multiple commands to run different queues:

php artisan vendor:publish --provider="FilippoToso\LaravelSupervisor\SupervisorServiceProvider"

In the configuration file you can find useful details.

Limitations

This package starts a command at each execution. This means that, if you have configured 5 commands to be executed, it can take up to 5 minutes to start them all. It also means that's best to place the most important commands (i.e. the queue) at the beginning of the commnads array.

If this limitation is a dealbreaker for you, just use the real supervisor!
