## What it is
Dispatcher is a Laravel package for scheduling artisan commands directly within your project code instead of editing the server crontab. It supports environment-specific scheduling, running commands as other users, and custom scheduling drivers.

## Use cases
- schedule laravel artisan commands without touching crontab
- keep cron scheduling logic in version control
- run scheduled commands only in specific environments
- run artisan commands as a different system user
- schedule commands with arguments and options

## When to choose
- you maintain a legacy Laravel 4 project needing in-code command scheduling
- you want scheduling definitions tracked in version control rather than crontab

## When to avoid
- you use Laravel 5 or later, which has a built-in scheduler
- you need actively maintained software with recent releases

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: abandoned
- function: scheduling, cli, workflow-automation
- domain: developer-tools
- platform: php, cli
