How to determine if the execution of the console command has completed?

Question

Yii

There is a project on Yii 2 and several console commands hung on kroner. Some run once a minute, some once every half an hour. How can I find out if this or that command has been executed and if not, then do not run it?

Answer 1

The easiest way is to use lock files. When run, the command creates an empty file with a specific name, and deletes it when finished. Accordingly, at startup, it checks whether such a file already exists, and if it does, it means with a high degree of probability that the previous launch is still working. Instead of a file, it is fashionable to use a database.
A more complicated way is to run tasks through a special task manager that will monitor their order, control whether the process has hung, etc.

Answer 2

There is a ready solution. You can use file locks, databases, etc.
