please see these docs pages -

yes i did but i set a cron schedule and it dont work like a im expected my project is a laravel api, i already set the schedule task and y set de cron job on railway
cron jobs on railway need to run and then exit as soon as possible, otherwise they just simply aren't cron jobs
I don't know what you mean, in Laravel to execute the jobs you need to execute the following command php artisan schedule:run
that's a long running task, you cant use railway cron for that, you'd just have that running as a regular service
Ok, how can I execute the command automatically?
as mentioned, in a separate railway service
Railway Blog
Cron Jobs on Railway
A brief guide on deploying and running cron jobs on Railway using JavaScript.
that has absolutely nothing to do with anything I've been saying though?
you need to run
php artisan schedule:run in a separate railway service, nothing at all to do with cronok but how?
create a new service in the project, set any needed service variables, set the start command, attach your github repo
ok perfect but how it execute the comand automatically
it's ran when the service starts
i now but it need to restart when i need to execute, will the cron job restar automatically the service ?
again, cron has nothing to do with this, it's its own scheduler, I recommend you read the docs on what that command does
ok now I know how it works thanks for the help and sorry for the inconvenience
no worries, going forward please try to have an understanding of the technologies you are using in your project
