title: How do I send telegram bot messages to a group from cron using Botman?
body: <p>I'm using <code>BotMan</code> which is currently using <code>Laravel Framework 5.7.3</code>.  I'm new to this so I expect this is a pretty simple question.</p>
  
  <p>I want to send messages to a Telegram chat group on an hourly basis with cron using the following command:</p>
  
  <pre><code> $botman-&gt;say('Test message', '-123456789', TelegramDriver::class); // test group -123456789
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>My bot is invoked from the <code>/var/www/html/mybot/routes/botman.php</code> file.</p>
  
  <p>How can I invoke this from a script that cron can access?</p>
