Create console application
In advance template there is already a file yii. And there is no need to run it as php, it is Linux script.
Create cron service command
Create a controller in console/controllers
I have created as TestController.php
namespace console\controllers; use yii\console\Controller; /** * Test controller */ class TestController extends Controller { public function actionIndex() { echo "cron service runnning"; } public function actionMail($to) { echo "Sending mail to " . $to; } }
This controller should be use the console controller name space
use yii\console\Controller;
How to run it
run it as
yii test
I have test it on windows by running
D:\xampp\htdocs\yii2>d:\xampp\php\php yii test cron service runnning D:\xampp\htdocs\yii2>
