The DspSoftsCronManagerBundle provides a simple way to launch and control any cron job.

Open a command console, enter your project directory and execute the following command to download the latest stable version of this bundle:

$ composer require dspsofts/cronmanager-bundle

This command requires you to have Composer installed globally, as explained in the installation chapter_ of the Composer documentation.

Then, enable the bundle by adding the following line in the app/AppKernel.php file of your project:

// app/AppKernel.php
class AppKernel extends Kernel
{
    public function registerBundles()
    {
        $bundles = array(
            // ...
            new DspSofts\CronManagerBundle\DspSoftsCronManagerBundle(),
        );
        // ...
    }
    // ...
}

You need to specify where to put the log files in your app/config/config.yml :

# app/config/config.yml
dsp_softs_cron_manager:
    logs_dir: "%kernel.logs_dir%/cronmanager/%kernel.environment%"

This cron manager uses a main command which runs all crons. The command dsp:cron:run should be run every minute. In order to do this, you can put this line in your crontab:

* * * * * /path/to/symfony/app/console dsp:cron:run

Please be aware that the user which owns the crontab needs to have whatever permissions you need for your cron tasks.
