Laravel Artisan General Command: The down Command

December 7, 2016 —John Koster

The down command is used to put the application into maintenance mode. It does this by creating a file named down in the framework storage path (which by default is storage/framework/).

The following demonstrates the command's usage:

1php artisan down
