Add Cron Jobs #

Cron jobs are scheduled tasks that run at predefined times or intervals on your server. They are essential for automating repetitive tasks such as running scripts, performing maintenance, or triggering specific actions at set times.

To set up cron jobs for NitroFIT28, add the following lines to your server's crontab:

* * * * * /usr/bin/php8.2 {project-root}/artisan schedule:run >> /dev/null 2>&1
* * * * * /usr/bin/php8.2 {project-root}/artisan queue:manager start

Replace {project-root} with the actual path to your NitroFIT28 project.
