Laravel 5 Scheduled Command everySeconds?

Question

I have a scheduled command as such:

public function schedule(Schedulable $scheduler)
{
    return $scheduler->everyMinutes(1);
}

Is there a way to get this to run every ten seconds?

No you can't Cron only allows for a minimum of one minute. otherwise you have to write some shell scripts with infinite loop. Bad Idea. — Jobin, Nov 19 '15 at 08:23
What about having five identical scripts but each has a sleep() of 10 seconds? — imperium2335, Nov 19 '15 at 08:55

If I understand correctly the scheduler in laravel is based on the cron format.

So you can not define a repetition smaller than minutes. You might use a workaround : link

What you are thinking off is something called long-polling and it does not scale good on PHP especially when you use blocking IO.

Something like this:

set_timeout_limit(11);
$i=0;
while ($i<10) {
    i = i + 1;
    sleep(1); // sleep 1 second
}
