Queue

Running Laravel Queues on cPanel with Cron Jobs

Laravel queues are useful for work that should not block an HTTP request, such as sending email, generating reports, importing data, or processing files. On a VPS, a process supervisor is usually the best way to keep long-running queue workers alive. Shared cPanel hosting often does not provide that option, so a cron-driven worker can be a practical fallback. This pattern starts a worker periodically and tells it to exit once the queue becomes empty.
