How to Set Up Cron Scheduling
Cron jobs are a powerful way to schedule recurring tasks on Unix-based systems. By using cron scheduling, you can automate tasks such as running export and import above provided command. Here’s a step-by-step guide to setting up cron jobs.

Let’s add a cron job that runs a Laravel command every hour. You can schedule tasks by specifying the appropriate interval in the crontab file.
To run a Laravel command every hour, add this line to your crontab:
0 * * * * /path/to/your/project/artisan unopim:queue:work {JobId} {userEmailId}
Step 3: Save and Exit the Crontab
Once you’ve added the necessary cron jobs, save and exit the crontab editor. If you’re using vi or vim, press Esc, then type :wq and hit Enter
Step 4: Verify Cron Jobs
