I am asking this because bot stops working on server when I close the terminal. So I need make bot work without php artisan bot:start command! Thank you, beforehand!

As far as I understand, this can be done with a regular http request. Then the bot will work constantly

I had to write cron job on server to make this bot work without stopping. I checked whether bot is working or not every 10 minutes and if it is not working cron job uses command php artisan bot:start command with nohup

Excellent. Can you share your experience?

[musobekmadrimov]

Sure! My cron job runs this command every 10 minutes:
sh /home/fitfoodu/domains/fitfood.uz/public_html/start_up_bash.sh

In start_up_bash.sh file, these codes have been written:

pgrep -fl "php artisan bot:start"
if [[ "$?" == "0" ]] ; then
echo "working"
else
cd /home/fitfoodu/domains/fitfood.uz/public_html/;
php artisan bot:start &
fi

This code checks whether bot is working or not and if it is working writes to console "Working" what is unnecessary for us. And if the bot is not working code runs the command which enters to the project root directory and makes the bot work with the command php artisan bot:start

Easy! :)
