Laravel call to controller method from command line to run in background

Question

I have method in laravel controller with some logic that need to run in the background in an infinite loop. With core php with was simple as we used to set it nohup php and call the php file to run in the background. How could we do the same with laravel to run the things in background.

Note: I cannot use cronjob for this as its an infinite loop which need to kept running in the background

maybe you could use a cron job which fires every minute – Mátyás Grőger Feb 15 '22 at 09:03 — Mátyás Grőger, Feb 15 '22 at 09:03

Kinda hard to imagine what task you want to accomplish, but you could create laravel command, which could call controller method directly.

But man, if you really need to have some background process, the controller is the worst place to contain it's logic. – nojitsi Feb 15 '22 at 09:05
@nojitesi I understand that controller is the worst place. I have separated the logic into trait and service module – Nizam Techs Feb 18 '22 at 15:24
@NizamTechs so the problem is solved, could close the thread? – nojitsi Feb 19 '22 at 20:41
