title: Scheduling events in laravel
body: <p>I want to setup a system for a privileged user to create a new task to run from date/time X to date/time Y saved in MySQL or SQLite? The task will send out a request to remote server via SSH and when the end date/time is up another SSH request would be sent.</p>
  
  <p>What I'm not sure about is how to actually trigger the event at the start time and howto trigger the other at the end time?</p>
  
  <p>Should I be polling the server somehow every 1min (sounds like a performance hit) or setup jobs in Iron.io/Amazon SQS or something else?</p>
  
  <p>I noticed Amazon SQS only allows messages to queue for up to 14 days, how would that work for events weeks or months in the future?</p>
  
  <p>Im not looking for code, just the idea on how it should work.</p>
