Asked by SteveEGL
Hello, i’ve been trying to run a cron job with a worker component.
This is my code:
while true; do echo “=> Running scheduler” cd core && php artisan booking:sync || true; echo “=> Sleeping for 300 seconds” sleep 300; done
My artisan is inside a folder called core, the first time it works, but the second time i get an error of course because it’s already inside core folder. Is there a way to execute the cd core only once?

Yes, that’s the right solution. You can move the cd core out of the while loop so that it’s only run once:
cd core
while true; do
echo "=> Running scheduler"
php artisan booking:sync || true
echo "=> Sleeping for 300 seconds"
sleep 300
done
