    protected $signature = 'CronJob:cronjob';//added

    protected $description = 'User Name Change Successfully';//added

    public function __construct()
    {
        parent::__construct();
    }

    public function handle()
    {
        \DB::table('users')
            ->where('id', 1)
            ->update(['name' => Str::random(10)]);//added

        $this->info('User Name Change Successfully!');//added
    }
}
?>

Step 2 : Change App\Console\Kernel.php

#App\Console\Kernel.php

<?php

namespace App\Console;

use Illuminate\Console\Scheduling\Schedule;
use Illuminate\Foundation\Console\Kernel as ConsoleKernel;

class Kernel extends ConsoleKernel
{
    protected $commands = [
        '\App\Console\Commands\CronJob',//added
    ];

    protected function schedule(Schedule $schedule)
    {
        $schedule->command('CronJob:cronjob')
                 ->everyMinute();//added
    }

    protected function commands()
    {
        $this->load(__DIR__.'/Commands');

        require base_path('routes/console.php');
    }
}
?>
