Triggering console commands from HTTP request

[jamesmacwhite]

Because there is no native cron functionality currently, we are currently triggering queue jobs via a cron web controller. However, is it possible to trigger a console command by a HTTP request?

Very soon!

Potentially, but it'll be gross. We're hoping to roll out proper cron job support this week if you can wait a bit.

Sounds like native cron is very soon, so happy to wait and use queue jobs for now!

CRON support is now available in Commands → Scheduled Commands!

More info is available in our KB article, Scheduled Commands on Craft Cloud.
