Command Line Applications

CLI applications are executed from the command line. They are useful to create cron jobs, scripts, command utilities and more.

Tasks

Tasks are similar to controllers, on them can be implemented

<?php

class MonitoringTask extends \Phalcon\CLI\Task
{

    public function mainAction()
    {

    }

}

<?php

//Using the CLI factory default services container
$di = new Phalcon\DI\FactoryDefault\CLI();

//Create a console application
$console = new \Phalcon\CLI\Console();
$console->setDI($di);

//
$console->handle(array('shell_script_name', 'echo'));
