Console Commands

While most of your interaction with Craft happens in a browser, a number of important tools are available via command line interface (CLI) actions that are run in a terminal.

This can be useful for automating tasks with cron, running actions in a deployment process (opens new window), working with Craft via SSH, and running resource-intensive tasks that might otherwise be constrained by the limits of your web server.

The Craft console application (craft) lives in the root of your project and requires PHP to run.

You may need to configure your environment in order to run PHP from your terminal; php-fpm and mod_php are meant to run with a web server while php-cli is a separate process for the command line.

Running php craft without any arguments will output a complete list of available options.

# `off`

Disables system.live project config value—bypassing any allowAdminChanges config setting restrictions—meant for temporary use during the deployment process.

Options

--retry

Number of seconds the Retry-After HTTP header should be set to for 503 responses.

The retryDuration config setting can be used to configure a system-wide Retry-After header.

The isSystemLive config setting takes precedence over the system.live project config value, so if config/general.php sets isSystemLive to true or false these on/off commands error out.

Example

Running the following takes the system offline and returns 503 responses until it’s switched on again:

$ php craft off --retry=60
The system is now offline.
The retry duration is now set to 60.

# `on`

Turns the system on.

Example:

$ php craft on
The system is now online.
