Yii2- Run Console app on windows using Scheduler

问题:

I am working on yii2. I have a create function which I want to run in the background after every 24 hours.

 public function actionCreate()
{
    $model = new MeterPing();

    // CURL code to get results from web-api

    if ($model->load(Yii::$app->request->post()) && $model->save()) {
        return $this->redirect(['view', 'id' => $model->id]);
    } else {
        return $this->render('create', [
            'model' => $model,
        ]);
    }
}

Also in this function, I will be fetching some records from a web-API. But my main concern is to run the above function in the background after every 24 hours.

Update 1

As per suggestion was given I have created a controller in console\controller

namespace console\controllers;

use yii\console\Controller;

class TestController extends Controller {

public function actionIndex() {
    echo "cron service runnning";
}}

Now, for testing it I followed this link and created a run service using cmd with following parameters

Now, by following as per suggested I have tried each step. The .bat file contains

@Echo off
title My Cron Job
:: See title at the top
php E:\xampp\htdocs\inventory-web\yii test
pause

After saving the file and adding it to the task scheduler. I tried to run it from this interface. And I did see a cmd opening and showing the message.

How can I do it? Any help would be highly appreciated.

You can use Task Scheduler for windows

• Create a .bat file which should contain the command for running your Yii console app controller/action if you create a controller class TestController that extends yii\console\controller and add a create action, to run that action from Yii console application you would type ./yii test/create on the project root using gitBash or console, so we will add this command to .bat file by providing the full path to the project_root/yii which is the Yii console bootstrap file. This is the main thing to run the job as part of Yii controller action code.

open notepad and copy below code in it an save as .bat with name my-cronjob.bat

@Echo off
title My Cron Job
:: See title at the top
php F:\xampp\htdocs\my-project\yii test/create
pause

NOTE: make sure you have php in Windows Path Variable or you should provide the complete path to php.exe in the above .bat file

• Now follow these steps to create a task scheduler

• Type in Task Scheduler in the start menu and open it.

• Create basic Task

• Write name for the task

• Select Trigger time Daily

• Select time to execute the task

• SelectActionStart a programme

• Now select themy-cronjob.batfile and press Next and Finish

• Now go to task manager and selectTask Scheduler Libraryand right click the cronjob you just created and open properties.

• Select Run with highest privileges

NOTE: you can select to run the cronjob if the user is logged-in or not, by default it only runs if the user is logged-in you can change that option.

That is it now you can either manually run the task by right-clicking and selecting run and it will run the desired controller/action specified in the my-cronjob.bat or wait for it to trigger on the specified time.

For running in background

The above settings will open the command prompt and run the task if you want the scheduler to run the task minimized you should see this link and update the task settings accordingly. also you can change the last line pause to Exit too.

I have tested it before posting the answer here as I have Windows10 OS at my home, so couldn't post the answer without testing from office.

回答2:

It seems to me that you are looking for a cronjob.

You'll have to create a console cronjob and then add it to your crontab on the server. The above link has a wiki on how to set this up for Yii2.

Example crontab which will run every day at 3 PM:

0 15 * * * /var/www/project/yii daemon/create
