Hi Ernesto,

i didn't found this document, thx for the link.
I don't see a BACK_PATH problem, it's same stuff as in every BE-module - 
defined one time and could be used.
I didn't used it, as there is also the way with the constants or 
EXT:xxx-syntax.

Ok, switching to cli_dispatch is no problem, only missing documentation. But 
all is done in lowlevel, so these parts could be copied.
So little additional question, how can I access commandline parameters? e.g. 
i want to start my script this way
/abspath/typo3/cli_dispatch.phpsh mysscript -f 100
