Starting the Laravel cron job on a Mac

Not directly answering your question, but proposing another solution:

If you want to set up cron jobs for your development environment, it's best to use Homestead, for its Linux standards compliance.

For small projects that i develop directly inside macOS, i run the following command inside the project root (in a separate terminal tab) to have my jobs run every minute:


```while true; do php artisan schedule:run; sleep 60; done```
