Laravel scheduler run twiceDaily at specific hours

Question

How can I run Laravel scheduler twice daily at specific hours? Let's say I want my command to run every day at 9am and 5pm

There is an option to use twiceDaily, but I'm not sure how to specify hours

Answer 1

You can use manual cron expression:

$schedule->command('foo')->cron('0 9,17 * * *');

Answer 2

If you want to use the Schedulable method then it would look like this:

return $scheduler->twiceDaily(9, 17);
