How to check if laravel command is still running?

There are a few ways to check if a Laravel command is still running:

1. Check the console output: If you are running the command from the command line, you can check the console output to see if the command is still running. If you see new lines being outputted, it means the command is still running.
2. Check the process list: You can use the ps command on Unix-based systems or the tasklist command on Windows to check the list of running processes. Look for the process ID (PID) of the Laravel command process and see if it is still in the list. For example, on Unix-based systems, you can use the following command to check if a process with the name "php" is still running: ps aux | grep php On Windows, you can use the following command to check if a process with the name "php.exe" is still running: tasklist | findstr php.exe
3. Check the database: If your Laravel command performs database operations, you can check if there are any ongoing database queries related to the command. For example, you can monitor the database query log or run a SELECT query to check the status of specific records.
4. Use Laravel's Process class: If you are running the command programmatically within Laravel, you can use the Process class from the SymfonyComponentProcess namespace to check the status of the command. For example: use SymfonyComponentProcessProcess; $process = new Process(['php', 'artisan', 'your-command']); $process->run(); if ($process->isRunning()) { // The command is still running } else { // The command has finished } You can check the documentation for the Process class for more information on how to use it: https://symfony.com/doc/current/components/process.html
