Background Tasks
BillaBear has several background tasks that need to be ran in order for BillaBear to operate successfully.
There are multiple ways to run these tasks. One way is to use the scheduler command and the other is to have cronjobs.
Run Scheduler Command
When using the scheduler command all the tasks will run at the schedule defined by BillaBear. You won't need to worry about anything other than keeping the scheduler command running.
The command to run is:
bin/console messenger:consume scheduler_main
