The process of automating commands and cronjob expressions stored in a Laravel database involves the following steps:

1. Create a Laravel command: Create a new command in Laravel using the "make:command" Artisan command. This command will be responsible for running the automated task.

2. Define the cronjob expression: In the Laravel database, set up a table to store the cronjob expression and command information. Each row in the table represents a cronjob to be executed. In this table, define the cronjob expression that determines when the automated task should run.

3. Read the database: In the Laravel command, create a method to read the cronjob table from the Laravel database. This method will return an array of cronjob expression and command information.

4. Schedule the cronjob: Once the cronjob data has been read from the database, schedule the cronjob using the Laravel Scheduler. Use the cronjob expression to set the frequency at which the automated task should run.

5. Execute the command: Finally, in the Laravel command, create the method that performs the automated task. When the scheduled time arrives, the command will fetch the command from the database and execute it.

Overall, automating commands and cronjob expressions stored in a Laravel database involves leveraging the Laravel Scheduler and creating a custom command that can read data from a database and execute a task when needed.
