Learn how to schedule tasks and commands in Laravel using the built-in command scheduler. Unlike traditional task systems like cron, Laravel's task scheduler allows you to manage all scheduled tasks through your application's code and track them using source control systems like git. You can easily schedule tasks to run at specific intervals, execute arbitrary commands, or even schedule callback functions to run at a given interval. Tasks can also be scheduled to run in maintenance mode or as a specific user. Additionally, you can prevent concurrent task execution and run tasks in the background. Laravel's scheduling system provides a convenient and flexible way to manage and automate tasks in your application.
