The scheduler allows you to manage scheduled tasks on your server. You can define your schedule for each task that is triggered by a single cron job, which will be discussed later.
In order to define a schedule, you will need to open App/Application/Console/Kernel.php. All of your scheduled tasks c
an be defined in the schedule method. The example below is an event dispatcher task that runs daily:
<?php
declare(strict_types=1);
namespace App\Application\Console;
use Codefy\Framework\Console\ConsoleKernel;
use Codefy\Framework\Scheduler\Schedule;
class Kernel extends ConsoleKernel
{
/**
* Place all your scheduled tasks here.
*
* @param Schedule $schedule
* @return void
*/
protected function schedule(Schedule $schedule): void
{
$schedule->php(script: 'subscriber_event.php')->daily();
}
}
In addition to using the scheduler to run PHP scripts, you can also schedule Codex commands, system commands, custom registered commands, and shell commands.
In the above example, the frequency is set to daily, but there are many more fluent frequency options to choose from.

You can also chain methods to create a more finely tuned schedule. This example shows a task running every day on weekdays every 4 hours:
<?php
$schedule->php(script: 'subscriber_event.php')
->weekdays()
->daily()
->everyHour(4);
You can also use literals when using the alias method:
<?php
/**
* Other literals to use.
*
* @always - every minute
* @weekdays
* @weekends
* @quarterly
* @sunday
* @monday
* @tuesday
* @wednesday
* @thursday
* @friday
* @saturday
* @january
* @february
* @march
* @april
* @may
* @june
* @july
* @august
* @september
* @october
* @november
* @december
*/
$schedule->php(script: 'subscriber_event.php')->alias('@always');
