cron jobs on railway need to run and then exit as soon as possible, otherwise they just simply aren't cron jobs

I don't know what you mean, in Laravel to execute the jobs you need to execute the following command php artisan schedule:run

that's a long running task, you cant use railway cron for that, you'd just have that running as a regular service

you need to run php artisan schedule:run in a separate railway service, nothing at all to do with cron

again, cron has nothing to do with this, it's its own scheduler, I recommend you read the docs on what that command does
