The purpose of this proposal is to create an easier way to balance scheduled tasks between multiple servers.

We can only set up the schedule:run cronjob in only one server right now, if there are many big scheduled tasks in a project, the server load of cronjob server may become very high and slow down the tasks which may cause unexpected problems.

For current version of Laravel (5.4), we can create a job that implements ShouldQueue and create an artisan command that triggers the job to do what we want, but why not provide an easier way to do this?

For example, we make an artisan command class implements ShouldQueue, when schedule:run triggered, it finds that the scheduled task implements ShouldQueue, then it dispatches a built-in job called RunScheduledTaskJob.

Or add a method called queue to Illuminate\Console\Scheduling\Event class, so that we can define a scheduled task by

$schedule->command('foo:bar')->queue($queueName)->everyThirtyMinutes();
