Cronjob with Laravel Task Scheduling

Create a new command Task Scheduling

php artisan make:command UpdatePeriod --command=update:period

Then make change in the file app/Console/Commands/UpdatePeriod.php:

<?php

namespace App\Console\Commands;

use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Log;
use Illuminate\Console\Command;
use App\Models\Period;

class UpdatePeriod extends Command
{
    protected $signature = 'update:period';
    protected $description = 'Update periode status';

    public function handle()
    {
        $close_period = Period::where('status', true)->get();
        if ($close_period->isNotEmpty()) {
            $now = date('Y-m-d');
            $done = $close_period->pluck('date_done')->first();
            if ($now > $done) {
                $close_period = Period::where('status', true)->first();
                $close_period->status = false;
                $close_period->update();
            }
        } else {
            $open_period = Period::where('status', false)->get();
            if ($open_period->isNotEmpty()) {
                $now = date('Y-m-d');
                $start = $open_period->pluck('date_start')->first();
                if ($now >= $start) {
                    $open_period = Period::where('status', false)->first();
                    $open_period->status = true;
                    $open_period->update();
                }
            }
