No Laravel expert here, but maybe this would work:

Hook into the onStartMainWindow event and execute a custom PHP script:

Code:

// onStartMainWindow HEScript
procedure OnStartMainWindow;
begin
  RunPHP('startup.php');
end;

Then in startup.php:

Code:

<?php
// Set up argv for Artisan
$_SERVER['argv'] = ['artisan', 'queue:work'];
include('artisan');

// Run websockets in parallel (if supported)
$_SERVER['argv'] = ['artisan', 'websockets:serve'];
include('artisan');
?>

Another option to try if above does not wrok for you is shell_exec:

Code:

<?php
shell_exec("start /B php artisan queue:work");
shell_exec("start /B php artisan websockets:serve");
?>

Again, no Laravel expert and just started learning Larvavel.

Sorry about that. Not in my home office and no access to exeout. I provided the code from my memory and it appears my memory and code are wrong.

I will be back on Aug 14 and can take a better look. Hopefully @gdgsupport will checkin before that and assist you.

Any update regarding the issues. I am looking to run a laravel queue in the background so that the background process will not slow down the main application. Any way we can run a queue in exe applications and starting websockets.

The solution is to create a stand-alone artisan.exe for your project, as explained in our tutorial here:

Thanks for the reply. @gdgsupport @oldteacher

But I am still having issues

Can you explain in more detail how to implement my requirement using the standalone artisan.exe you mentioned?


I am currently using ExeOutput 2021, but I think the standalone Artisan support is only available in ExeOutput 2024.


What I want is: when the user opens the main application, it should automatically run the Laravel queue:work command in the background.


How can I achieve this using the standalone Artisan?

We don't provide support for old versions though.
You could create a stand-alone console app with ExeOutput that executes your artisan queue:work command. Then, with HEScript within your main app, you execute the console app in the background. Thus, it does not freeze your main app UI.
To execute EXE files, you can see this tutorial:

Does the latest Exeoutput 2025 has any easy way to run the artisan commands. I need to run queue:work and scheduler:run when the application starts
