consumers_runner

Define your own job like this one

Want a job that fires on the same cadence in your own module? Drop these two files in — adjust the vendor/module namespace, the job name, and the body of run.

1. etc/crontab.xml

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<config xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
        xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="urn:magento:module:Magento_Cron:etc/crontab.xsd">
    <group id="consumers">
        <job name="vendor_module_consumers_runner_clone"
             instance="Vendor\Module\Cron\ConsumersRunner"
             method="run">
            <schedule>* * * * *</schedule>
        </job>
    </group>
</config>

2. Cron handler class

<?php
declare(strict_types=1);

namespace Vendor\Module\Cron;

use Psr\Log\LoggerInterface;

class ConsumersRunner
{
    public function __construct(
        private readonly LoggerInterface $logger,
    ) {
    }

    public function run(): void
    {
        $this->logger->info('consumers_runner cron tick');

        // Your scheduled work here. Keep this short — long jobs
        // should enqueue work onto the message queue rather than
        // running inline in the cron tick.
    }
}

Need a full module scaffolded around this cron job? Module Generator wires the crontab.xml, handler class, and module registration for you.
