[SOLVED] Running a cron in Yii2

Issue

I'm using the advanced template application of yii2 and i want to create a cron. I could find only little information while googling the subject and so far found that cron jobs should go in the console folder.

my structure:

backend/
. 
.
.
console/
    models/
        Subscriptions.php   // my custom table model
    .
    .
    .       
    controllers/
        TimelineController.php
    .
    .
    .

I don't know where to go from now or how to proceed? How can I run the cron?

LAMP environment.

Solution

ok i had to navigate to the root of the project in the terminal, there exists a script named yii, i used the following command to run the cron:

php yii cronName.

for example a cron controller named FirstController should be run like this:

rootFolderName/ php yii first
