                    CRON JOB SETUP INSTRUCTIONS
              Estate Vacation Rentals - Partner Investment System
================================================================================

OVERVIEW:
---------
This application requires a cron job to run scheduled tasks for the partner
investment system, including:
- Updating partner tier calculations
- Generating monthly profit distributions
- Processing partner distributions (crediting balances)

The cron job triggers Laravel's task scheduler which handles all scheduled
commands automatically.


CRON JOB COMMAND:
-----------------
Add the following cron job to your cPanel or server crontab:

┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│  wget -O--q https://yourdomain.com/cron > /dev/null 2>&1 │
└─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘

Replace "yourdomain.com" with your actual domain name.


EXPLANATION:
------------
wget       = Command-line tool to fetch web pages
--q         = Quiet mode (suppress wget output)
-O /dev/null = Discard the downloaded content (we only need to trigger the route)
/cron      = The route endpoint that triggers Laravel's scheduler

Set to run once per minute (Laravel Scheduler will determine which tasks to run).
