## Introduction
|
SilverStripe can call [controllers](../controllers) through a command line interface (CLI) just as easily as through a
|
||||||
|
web browser. This can be used to automate tasks with cron jobs, run unit tests, or anything else that needs to interface
|
||||||
|
over the command line.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
SilverStripe can call controllers through commandline `php` just as easily as through a web browser.
|
The main entry point for any command line execution is `cli-script.php`. For example, to run a database rebuild
|
||||||
This can be handy to automate tasks with cron jobs, run unit tests and maintenance tasks,
|
from the command line, use this command:
|
||||||
and a whole bunch of other scripted goodness.

Make sure that your commandline php version uses the same configuration as your webserver (run `php -i` to find out more).

<div class="notice">
|
||||||
|
Your command line php version is likely to use a different configuration as your webserver (run `php -i` to find out
|
||||||
|
more). This can be a good thing, your CLI can be configured to use higher memory limits than you would want your website
|
||||||
|
to have.

|

|

|

|
|
||||||
|
### Usage
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Using this example, /Users/sminnee/Sites/mysite/ would be accessed at http://mysite.localhost/, and
|
Sake is particularly useful for running build tasks
|
||||||
/Users/sminnee/Sites/othersite/ would be accessed at http://localhost/othersite/
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
## Usage
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Sake will either run `./framework/cli-script.php` or `./cli-script.php`, depending on what's available.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
It's particularly useful for running build tasks...

### Running Regular Tasks With Cron
|
You can add parameters to the command by using normal form encoding. All parameters will be available in `$_GET` within
|
||||||
|
SilverStripe. Using the `cli-script.php` directly:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
On a unix machine, you can typically run a scheduled task with a [cron job](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cron),
|
:::bash
|
||||||
using one of the following command-line calls:
|
cd your-webroot/
|
||||||
|
php framework/cli-script.php myurl myparam=1 myotherparam=2
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
```
|
Or if you're using `sake`
|
||||||
/path/to/site_root/framework/sake dev/tasks/MyTask
|
|
||||||
php /path/to/site_root/framework/cli-script.php dev/tasks/MyTask
|
|
||||||
```
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
If you find that your cron job appears to be retrieving the login screen, then you may need to use `php-cli`
|
:::bash
|
||||||
instead. This is typical of a cPanel-based setup.
|
sake myurl "myparam=1&myotherparam=2"
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
```
|
## Running Regular Tasks With Cron
|
||||||
php-cli /path/to/site_root/framework/cli-script.php dev/tasks/MyTask
|
|
||||||
```
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
A good approach to setting up and testing your task to run with cron is:
|
On a UNIX machine, you can typically run a scheduled task with a [cron job](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cron). You can
|
||||||
|
execute any `BuildTask` in SilverStripe as a cron job using `Sake`.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
1. Try running the task via the command-line on your server. `/path/to/site_root/framework/sake dev/tasks/MyTask`
|
:::bash
|
||||||
2. Set up a cron job to run the task every minute. `* * * * * /path/to/site_root/framework/sake dev/tasks/MyTask`
|
* * * * * /your/site/folder/sake dev/tasks/MyTask
|
||||||
3. Finally, set the task to run when you want it to. `0 2 * * * /path/to/site_root/framework/sake dev/tasks/MyTask` (2am)
