[TYPO3-dev] HowTo: Running a cronscript using TYPO3 with CLI

[Steffen Kamper]

Hi Steffen,

it's very easy, here is a very very basic one
===============================
create BE user _cli_cronjob

in ext_localconf.php:
//register key for cli
$TYPO3_CONF_VARS['SC_OPTIONS']['GLOBAL']['cliKeys']['mycliscript']= 
array('EXT:myext/croncli.php','_CLI_cronjob');

the croncli.php:

if (!defined('TYPO3_cliMode')) die('You cannot run this script directly!');

require_once(PATH_t3lib.'class.t3lib_cli.php');

class tx_myjobs extends t3lib_cli {

 function main($argv) {
  $args = $this->cli_getArgArray('-f',$argv);
  print_r($args);
 }
}

 // Call the functionality
$myObj = t3lib_div::makeInstance('tx_myjobs');
$myObj->main($_SERVER["argv"]);
===============================

then call it on console:
/var/www/.../typo3/cli_dispatch.phpsh mycliscript -f hello

works.
