How to prepare simple CRON jobs?¶

What are CRON jobs?¶

This is what we call scheduling repetitive task on the server. In web applications this will be mainly repetitively running specific commands.

Sylius has two vital, predefined commands designed to be run as cron jobs on your server.

sylius:remove-expired-carts - to remove carts that have expired after desired time
sylius:cancel-unpaid-orders - to cancel orders that are still unpaid after desired time

The recommended configuration

0 */6 * * * sh php bin/console sylius:remove-expired-carts
0 */6 * * * sh php bin/console sylius:cancel-unpaid-orders
