As explained in the documentation, you can set a cronjob to execute laravel scheduler

I want to run tasks, every wednesday, every two hours starting at 13:00.

I placed the scheduler in Command Kernel for everyhour I want the task to run. But this doesn't work.

// project/app/Console/Kernel.php
protected function schedule(Schedule $schedule)
{
    $schedule->command('inspire')
             ->wednesdays()
             ->at('13:00')
             ->at('15:00')
             ->at('17:00')
             ->at('19:00')
             ->withoutOverlapping();
}

What would be the correct way to set up the schedule for every two hours starting at 13:00 every wednesdays?

I would prefer not using a cronjob expression (* 13,14,15,16,17,18,19,20 * * 3 ) because It's confusing.

you can use expression `13-20` as well – Zahur Sh Feb 03 '16 at 18:59
@ZahurSh could you provide an example? – chepe263 Feb 03 '16 at 19:00
expression in my crontab `*/5 4-17 * * * ` means every 5 minutes from 4 to 17 hours – Zahur Sh Feb 03 '16 at 19:03
Just use the cron job. It's not that bad. If you're worried that you'll forget it or that someone else who looks at it later may not understand it, make a comment about it in the code explaining it and how to access it. – Jeremy Jackson Feb 03 '16 at 19:04
