Run Laravel Scheduled Tasks on Windows

The following are instructions for running scheduled tasks defined in a Laravel project on Windows. The Laravel documentation provides instructions for running scheduled tasks using cron jobs on Linux systems. However, cron jobs are not available on Windows. The built-in Windows Task Scheduler can be used to run scheduled tasks instead.

Create a Scheduled Task

Open Task Scheduler
Select Create Task...
Give the task a name and description
To run the task in the background, select Run whether the user is logged on or not and check the Hidden checkbox.

Create the following folder structure in your root project directory: .ebextensions/supervisor
Place the supervisor.config under .ebextensions/
Place the setup.sh under .ebextensions/supervisor/
Run "chmod +x .ebextensions/supervisor/setup.sh"
Place the supervisord.conf under .ebextensions/supervisor/

Font Face

A mixin for writing @font-face rules in SASS.

Usage

Create a font face rule. Embedded OpenType, WOFF2, WOFF, TrueType, and SVG files are automatically sourced.

@include font-face(Samplino, fonts/Samplino);
